California-based engineering firm Blazin Rodz is taking the American restomod scene to new extremes with its 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Hybrid Hypercar Project, set to make its debut at the 2025 SEMA Show. The concept represents one of the most radical reinterpretations of a classic muscle car yet, combining modern hybrid technology, hypercar performance, and unmistakable Camaro styling.
The company, known for its ambitious builds, made headlines last year with “Doughboy,” a 2,800-horsepower 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle that will also appear at this year’s event. For 2025, Blazin Rodz is pushing innovation even further, revealing that a limited production run of the Camaro Hybrid Hypercar will follow its SEMA unveiling. Pricing is expected to start around $1.6 million, positioning it firmly in supercar territory.
At its core, the Camaro Hybrid Hypercar blends American muscle with hybrid precision. Power comes from a front/mid-mounted 5.8-liter Chevrolet R07 V8 sourced from a NASCAR Cup car, delivering an estimated 1,300 horsepower to the rear wheels. Supplementing that is an axial flux electric motor, powered by a custom 800-volt battery system, which adds an additional 300 horsepower to the front axle. Combined output reaches 1,600 horsepower, giving the car a projected top speed of 210 mph.
Beyond sheer power, the build incorporates advanced engineering features rarely seen in classic restomods. Its carbon fiber body and aerodynamic design are paired with a “state-of-the-art” chassis developed using precision 3D-printed components from HP Additive Manufacturing. A patent-pending suspension system featuring torsion bars, pneumatic air springs, and hydraulic pushrods adjusts stiffness in real time for both street and track performance.
Blazin Rodz plans to display a one-third scale version of the Camaro at SEMA, offering an early glimpse into what could become one of the most advanced American muscle-based hypercars ever created.
