The 1969 Camaro Hybrid Hypercar by Blazin Rodz redefines what a classic muscle car can become. Revealed at SEMA 2025, it blends vintage design with hypercar technology, using carbon fiber, hybrid power, and next-generation engineering to deliver 1,600 horsepower and over 200 mph capability.
From Classic Camaro to Hybrid Hypercar
Blazin Rodz, the Orange County-based custom builder behind the viral 1970 Chevelle “Doughboy,” returns to SEMA with a groundbreaking creation. Their new 1969 Camaro Hybrid Hypercar transforms an American icon into a limited-production, all-carbon performance machine designed for both road and track dominance.
Vision and Engineering
Designed by Sean Smith, the carbon fiber body stretches over a bespoke chassis built from precision-machined components. Each part meets modern hypercar standards, while additive manufacturing ensures rapid, high-tolerance production. The result is a classic silhouette fused with contemporary supercar proportions and aggressive aerodynamics.
Power, Engine, and Performance
At its heart, the Blazin Rodz 1969 Camaro Hybrid Hypercar packs a 1,300 HP twin-turbocharged Chevrolet R07 V8. It’s paired with a front-mounted, liquid-cooled axial flux electric motor adding 300 HP for all-wheel drive capability. Together, they produce a combined output of 1,600 HP and target a top speed of 210 mph.
Torque fill from the electric motor ensures instant response, while regenerative braking and a custom hybrid controller optimize traction and energy delivery. A bespoke 800-volt Raeon UK battery powers the electric system, seamlessly integrated to balance performance with control. Launch control, active clutch logic, and torque modulation create precision-engineered acceleration and stability.
Next-Level Suspension and Hybrid Control
Blazin Rodz developed a patent-pending suspension setup using torsion bars, pneumatic air springs, and hydraulic pushrods in a variable-rate design. This adaptive system continuously adjusts stiffness and ride height in real time, merging comfort with race-grade handling. Every component contributes to a car capable of both long-distance touring and track-focused agility.
Crafted with Technology and Tradition
The project also showcases the company’s in-house hybrid firmware, managing energy distribution, torque control, and regenerative systems. Combined with HP Additive Manufacturing’s 3D-printed hardware, the build represents the union of traditional hot rod craftsmanship with the precision of aerospace-grade technology.
Limited Production and Future Plans
Development is currently in the fabrication and testing phase, with limited production planned ahead of SEMA 2026. Pricing is expected to start at around $1.6 million, with each build fully customizable to its owner’s preferences. Early buyers can reserve their allocation directly at SEMA Booth #24401 in the Future Tech Studio.
SEMA 2025 Showcase
Attendees can view a 1:3-scale model and full-size front-end assembly of the hybrid Camaro at SEMA’s Central Hall. The booth also features “Doughboy,” Blazin Rodz’s 1970 Chevelle that earned SEMA’s Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year award, now displayed on a lift to reveal its intricate chassis and components.
Summary
The Blazin Rodz 1969 Camaro Hybrid Hypercar bridges past and future, turning a beloved classic into a high-performance statement. With its carbon construction, hybrid drivetrain, and adaptive dynamics, it stands as proof that innovation and heritage can coexist , with thrilling results.
