Believe it or not, that monstrously bloated Chevrolet Camaro in the picture above has been built for a children’s movie; an animated, children’s movie.
Despite sporting a front setup that looks like its pint has just been spilled all over its face, the mad Chevy is a promotional tool for an upcoming DreamWorks movie called Turbo. It follows the adventures of a snail who dreams of becoming a racing driver. Geddit? A snail! As a racing driver!
Adorable premise, you’ll agree. Sadly, the underlying premise of this Camaro - which we’re assured is “instrumental in transforming him [the snail] into a racer” - is anything but adorable. If you look closely, you’ll spot the ‘ZL1’ badges, indicating this thing sports a 6.2-litre supercharged V8; the same V8 that sits inside a Corvette ZR1.
