If you guys want to pony up $259K, you can buy your very own race ready GT4.R Camaro!

Anyone can now get their hands on a Camaro GT4 race car, for a price

A cool $259,000 is the starting price of the race-ready Camaro GT4.R, now available for sale to the public. Based on the Camaro ZL1 production car, the GT4.R is built to meet global GT4 regulations thanks to Chevrolet’s technical partner Pratt & Miller Engineering, who constructs and sells the race car.

The two race teams that have purchased the Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R have competed in and won races in the 2017 Pirelli World Challenge GTS Drivers, Manufacturers, and Team championships and the 2017 IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge Series.

Chevrolet Racing developed and validated the Camaro GT4.R’s race-bred, dry-sump 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 engine that routes power through an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission with a pneumatic paddle shifting and an Xtac Salisbury-type differential. The V-8 features direct fuel injection, a custom carbon fiber intake, a custom camshaft, a Motec data acquisition system, a customized Bosch Motorsport MS6 ECU, and can be tuned to up to 480 hp. Added to the ZL1’s body are wider front fenders, a hood extractor, aerodynamic side skirts, lightweight carbon fiber doors and front fascia, a custom GT4 spec carbon fiber rear spoiler, GT4 spec front dive planes, and a GT4 spec carbon fiber front splitter. Keeping the Camaro on the track are 18-inch Forgeline one-piece forged alloy wheels shod in 305 tires front and rear, Brembo Motorsport six-piston front brake calipers, Brembo four-piston rear calipers, custom adjustable front and rear antiroll bars, and two-way adjustable Ohlins TTX-46 thru-shaft front struts and TTX-36 rear dampers.

The Camaro GT4.R’s minimum weight is 3131 pounds and all aerodynamics have been developed and tested on a full-scale rolling road and wind tunnel.

Those lucky enough to afford the price of the Camaro GT4.R now have the chance to flog a real race car around their favorite race track, hopefully with a big smile on their face.

If you're serious about racing competitively, it's worth it. It costs a lot of money to bring a car to GT4 specs.

Can buy a Huracan, and still have money left over to buy a camaro and mod it.

Do you people know what a GT4 class race car is? It has a completely different purpose from an exotic convertible.

It's designed to win races, not look cool or get you laid.

It's not even road legal.

I think you should really differentiate between "trackready" cars that do amazing on track and a real trackcar.

Of course if I had $250k for a car I would buy anything else, because I'm not driving races.

I was surprised that it has an LT1 rather than the stock ZL1 LT4.

This is a full blown GT4 spec race car homologated to run in the IMSA Continental tire series and Pirelli World Challenge. Even the LT1 is probably detuned somewhat as their prior Z28s were. Stevenson Motorsports started racing theirs in May and have won a couple of races. Black Dog in the PWC won the championship with theirs. Stevenson is dropping out of racing at the end of the season so you can probably buy theirs on the cheap if you want to go IMSA racing.

Some amusing responses in this thread. My palm usually isn't attached to my face this early on a Monday morning.

You guys are hilarious for comparing exotics to this car. The entire point of this car is that YOU could buy it turnkey, jump in it, and *theoretically* be competitive in the Pirelli World Challenge or IMSA series.

You guys have no idea...

What's funny is you can get this for $260k or the new Hurican Super Trofeo EVO for $295k! The Super Trofeo isn't GT4 spec though so idk what race series other than the actual Super Trofeo Series you could even run it in. Still two badass race cars for what they are!!!

Love to take a few laps in that. Most people don't understand road racing classifications and I get a headache just thinking about it. The GT4 class are the beginners on the track and the Camaro is dominating. Can you imagine the looks you would get taking a GT4.R out to the local track. By the way, the Corvette just won another ISMA GTLM title, congrats.

That would be an incredible car and sadly just a dream for most of us :-)

Imagine it with an LT4, what a beast that would be!
