Supercharged Camaro For Dreamworks New Movie – “Turbo”

This could possibly be one of the most perplexing custom Camaros you’ve ever seen, so try to stay with us here. For starters, it was built for a new Dreamworks animated movie called Turbo, which is about a snail (the mollusk, not a turbo) and his pursuit of speed. Also, somehow this life-sized supercharged Camaro plays a major role in helping Turbo the animated snail reach his goal of racing in the Indy 500…against humans.  (Huh?)

If that’s not confusing enough, the car itself is a real head scratcher. The car is sporting ZL1 badges, but we’ve heard from several sources that it’s actually a regular L99/6L80E Camaro SS. However, the pro-street style super charger poking through the COPO hood is supposedly fully functional, and is hands down the coolest part of the build to us. Dare we hope – a future special order part from Chevrolet Performance? Doubtful, but the official press release from Chevrolet does say, “Powering this super ride is a supercharged 700+ HP V8 engine with automatic transmission. There is a custom created intake assembly for supercharger housing. The rear exhaust outlets are five-inches in diameter, with two per side.”

We’ll give them this much – this Camaro’s styling makes it look like it rolled straight out of a cartoon. The car features a wide-body conversion covered with a black chrome wrap, a “GT Concept rear wing spoiler”, and massive 24 x 10 and 24 x 15 wheels. We can’t help but be curious exactly what role this thing plays in the movie. What do you think?
