The Chevrolet Camaro isn't dead yet. Well, the four-cylinder model is, but the monster muscle car featured in the above video from LeMansVidz on YouTube clearly doesn't have a four-pot. That's the sound of V8 power, and not just any V8 either. This is a modified next-gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 race car with NASCAR influence, built by the folks at Chevy with Hendrick Motorsports, IMSA, Goodyear, and NASCAR. But what's it doing at Le Mans?
Our racing colleagues at Motorsport.com remind us that this is the 2023 Garage 56 entry. Since 2012, Le Mans has extended an invitation for a 56th team to participate in the iconic endurance race, showcasing innovative machines with a nod to the future. Note that we didn't say compete – the Garage 56 vehicle technically is in its own class and isn't eligible to claim a trophy. But that's not stopping the Camaro's drivers from filling the French countryside with American V8 thunder.
