The subtle updates to the Cup Series body take styling cues from a performance accessories kit that Chevrolet recently released for the car's road-going counterpart. NASCAR officials said that these performance updates, which have been incorporated into the race-ready Camaro, were the product of collaboration with the manufacturer and have satisfied the competition department's requirements for a new-look body next season… According to Chevrolet, the racing version of the Camaro now features a larger hood dome, revisions to the front grille and redefined rocker panels. The automaker indicated that those design features align with the Carbon Performance Package Accessories Kit's carbon-fiber pieces on the hood and rockers, plus a new grille and front splitter.

Now we know why they suddenly offered a Carbon Fiber package for the ZL1 just now lol

Strangely enough the "updated" version still looks just like my 2023!
You can pay 18K-ish for some wheels and pieces though! . :smiling1

I was just at Hendrick Motorsports two weeks ago and this is nothing more than Dancing with NASCAR to provide some validity to their platform. Its nothing more than what Toyota has been doing for years since not one V8 RWD Camry has EVER graced the Dealership Showrooms.

Not ONE!!

I will be at Hendrick's place this next week... unfortunately I cannot take ANY photos there, but I will confirm G56 has been testing and with a completely new engine making over 300hp more than it did at LeMans.

In Fact, the car was DECLINED for participation at Petit LeMans out of fear that it would surpass the entire field.

I spoke with one of the race engineers at Hendricks a few weeks back and discussed the 2026 model. I theorized the obvious choice would've been a Cadillac, but his response was too much was branded with Chevrolet.
I suspect this 2026 model will be a stop gap until whatever Flint starts manufacturing once the CT4 production ends.

Nah you gotta get it right, it’s $17k for the carbon package alone, ~$21k for the package + bronze ZL1 wheels

My bad! It's much better when you separate it out like that!

I wonder if someone will actually buy the carbon package at this point… would be nice to see what it looks like up close outside of the Chevy photos
