Blazin Rodz unveils a 1,600-hp 1969 Chevrolet Camaro hybrid hypercar at SEMA 2025
At SEMA 2025, Blazin Rodz debuts a 1,600-hp 1969 Chevrolet Camaro hybrid hypercar with a NASCAR-based V8, e-motor, carbon-fiber body, and limited production.
SEMA 2025 in Las Vegas played host to one of the most formidable restomods in recent memory: the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Hybrid Hypercar Project. The California outfit Blazin Rodz set out to meld vintage charm with cutting-edge hardware, and the result aims squarely at enthusiasts who want nostalgia without giving up modern performance.
Under the hood sits a 5.8‑liter NASCAR-derived R07 V8 with twin turbos rated at 1,300 hp, paired with a 300-hp electric motor. The combined output reaches 1,600 hp, with a claimed top speed of 210 mph. On paper, that propulsion mix pushes the build deep into hypercar territory, and the electric assist looks more like a serious performance layer than a token add-on.
The model is set to feature a carbon-fiber body, an adaptive suspension with air elements, and a patented stiffness-control system. Pricing starts at $1.6 million, reinforcing the car’s bespoke, low-volume intent.
The manufacturer noted that production will be limited. This hybrid Camaro is already being described as one of 2026’s standout sports cars, a blend of heritage and forward-looking tech that, if delivered as presented, seems destined to turn heads.
