With its chiseled front fascia and aggressive attitude, the Chevrolet Camaro definitely looks the part of a performance-bred sports machine. However, some folks see the Camaro and only want to take that style further, as is evidenced by the following three-minute, 36-second video.
The Chevrolet Camaro featured here hails from the sixth generation, and is most notable for its slammed stance and flared-out, molded widebody kit. Covered in a red-and-black color scheme, this thing demands attention. The front end sports an exaggerated aero treatment, with a pronounced front splitter and large canards in the corners. The profile is all about the extra fender width, under which sits a set of deep-dish wheels that tuck the low-profile tires just under wheel arches. Finally, the rear end finishes it off with a prominent duck bill spoiler and even more aero with a large black diffuser, plus a quad set of exhaust tips.
“First molded widebody sixth-gen in the world,” reads the video description, “and the best part is, it was home-built on a budget with zero autobody experience.”
“It’s true that dreams are free but the hustle is sold separately,” the description adds.
This particular video places the widebody Chevrolet Camaro in the middle of a sleepy little town, where it rolls around hovering just off the pavement like some red-and-black Bow Tie brand spaceship. The locals can’t help but gawk and turn their heads as it passes, standing out amongst the cobbled streets and puddles.
The video shows this Chevrolet Camaro off with well-produced footage and a beat-laced soundtrack, all without any narration or commentary of any kind.

Dang.. the widebody version gives the Camaro some curves that it has been missing and is now a true head turner.
It’s a head turner all right for all the wrong reasons. Somebody had way too much time and money on their hands. Disgusting. Totally overdone.
That Camaro looks insane! It’s like one of those protagonists cars taken straight from a computer game..
Incredible ride. Love the color and shape. Even the backlights/directional. You guys should do an article on what he has done to the motor.
My thoughts are: Front splitter and oil pan, meet pothole.
Additionally, and probably of more significance, the lack of attention to the suspension geometry issues associated with lowering a car to that extent make it impractical for anything other than parking it at a car show.
Suspension geometry? What suspension is even possible when the rims are 3mm away from the fender arches?
Concepts like this are an exercise in stupidity. They attempt to convey an image of performance but take ridiculous design trends to such an extreme as to make the vehicle inoperable. It’s the epitome of being more concerned about looking cool than actually being cool.
I think the whole thing looks awful.
UGLY!!! Has similarities of a Porsche , an their UGLY! I’m 100% Camaro person but that ruin that Camaro!
I think it’s just as sic as Hello!!! I love it!!! I want one just the same, maybe minus the double wings on the nose…but otherwise GM should take notes!!!
Agreed! That car is a work of art. However, we know that all work of arts are not necessarily practical. That’s why there are engineers: to make art practical. One may think that such a slammed body would suffer a lot from street’s bumps and dents. However, the video showed us a pretty smooth ride, which is an indication that the air ride was well thought out. Finally, those guys have my upmost respect!
I think it’s bad ass other than the wheels being too small and cambered but I’m digging the wide body look
Awesomely Individual! Very Well Done!
My hat is off to the person that brought this camaro to this extreme!
Truly Bad to the Bone!
Thanks for sharing it!

They put Lionhart tires on that poor car! If whoever built this doesnt have the sense enough to run good rubber to put the power down, just think about how thick the bondo must be used to smooth out all the transitions! Wide body kits are stamped in new molds to replace entire body pieces to prevent cracking/warping over time and runs into the tens of thousands per part for a reason. No way will this “homemade” bodykit stand up to the test of time! In 1 or 2 northern winters, the paint would/will be cracked so badly that you wouldn’t even want to drive it. The title should read “First 6th Gen Destroyed” just because some millennial played NFS too much and thought cars actually work better when built like that. I feel so sorry for this poor car. It probably has manufactor-dysphoria not knowing whether its american muscle or jap rice burner… it’s a sad sad story.
Looks nice but sits too low, the tires suck! I’ll keep my ‘19 ZL1 the way I bought it, BADASS!
Wicked style! Love it! Drop the mic!
Love the wide body. I would definitely buy one.
It looks nice but only time will tell if this body style will last. The slammed body looks great but I don’t think it would last a weekend cruising around the city’s speed bumps, driveway parking lots, etc. The superlow profile tires look nice but how smooth is the ride? Im strictly old school. My 79 Berlinetta is still rollin and I’m proud of it being all original.
While I like the widebody look, those tires are too narrow for the rims. If wider tires won’t fit, use narrower rims. Can you say curb rash, lol. Unfortunately, the camber accentuates this mismatch and gives it that cheesy JDM look. Those aero winglets up front look like a cheap after thought add on and should have been molded into the bumper if a truly aero device with a purpose was desired. If I were to put that much work into creating this widebody, I’d have it 3D scanned and make the kit commercially available for a profit, minus the ugly winglets.
Too low to ground for my city have a 2018 ss bumblebee
I love it! GM, make this and just take my money! 💸💸
A Camaro is not a sports car. It’s a muscle car. It’s not supposed to look sporty. It’s not supposed to be in the same category as Corvettes, Vipers, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. It’s not supposed to be lowered to the ground with air foils to hold it down from flying away. Since the Gen 4 body it’s been slowly morphing into a RX7 or a Supra. Stop. Just stop. There’s a reason the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger are beating it in sales. It’s lost it’s identity. So disappointing.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Out of the park look and sound!! Would buy one myself!
Who designed this? Homer Simpson maybe.
I love it! Mean looking as hell. But the tires suck!!! I mean really as bad as the car looks good. Lowering is a plus on any ride to me, but do what you gotta do to get some more meat around those wheels! And scrap the “stretched tire” look – no exposed rim edge on a camaro please!
Have made a muscle car..for sure. What is with the disappearing wheels tho?? Most people love a nice rim but how loud can you scream if you in a parking lot with many curbs…😅 if the tire hiding …on the inside… deflates just a little…how on earth will the rim react coming in contact with the body. I guess that theory was not tested. Pretty expensive experiment. Yuk!
Pictures of the wheels and background look fake, nir gonna click this crao no mor
Gm- like the widebody…maybe not so wide though. Needs more tire. Lowering is nice, but not slammed. Adjust the camber..
Other than a few styling bits,. it’s just so awful, more of project for the old custom auto shows of yore. I can remember in the mid 70’s when you could just start to pick up a used Camaro for an affordable price.
Customizing has been around for a long time, I can remember people purchasing late 60’s early 70’s Camaro’s and Firebirds and adorn them with fiberglass wheel flares and those LT1 hoods. You riveted them on, sometimes removing metal in the process and then gooping on fiberglass and bondo.
At that time period I had already own two Camao’s, and I would shake my head. Sure it looks good today, but what about tomorrow. When it comes time to sell it, you better find a duffus that has the same terrible taste as you. Then the other kicker is if you want to bring the car back to the original sometime in the future.
Did you really like everything that George Barris designed?
Its a JDM look on a american car. You either love it or hate it. I love the look. I’m sitting here reading all your silly comments about it being too low, there’s a reason as to why this builder chose air suspension. The tire selection, its decent if you wanna burn rubber for cheap and cruise around, but this car wasn’t built for the track. It was built for the aesthetic, hence the the stretched tires and the camber for stance. Its a great JDM look on a american/muscle car. And for you older car enthusiast, I see you guys bash this build and some do like it. I know its not for everyone, but at the end of the day we are all fellow car enthusiast and we should just respect each others builds.
