Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS) and TRD,
U.S.A. (Toyota Racing Development) has been introduced the new 2015 Toyota Camry
race car that will compete in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) competition
beginning next season.
With the announcement of the 2015 Camry race car,
Toyota becomes the first manufacturer in the series to update the NASCAR
‘Gen-6’ model — which was initially introduced in 2012 for competition
beginning during the 2013 season. In addition, a redesigned Camry will also be
used in next year’s NASCAR Xfinity Series, currently the Nationwide Series.
The 2015 Camry race car marks the culmination of a
redesign to provide the vehicle with a more unique identity — and a look
similar to the 2015 production Camry that was introduced earlier this year. TRD
worked together with Calty Design, part of Toyota’s global network design team,
to update the on-track Camry and incorporate design elements from the new 2015
production Camry into the race car.
The boldest change to the new 2015 NSCS Camry is the
aggressive front end and grill area, which looks exactly like its production
counterpart. In addition, the new Camry boasts an all new, sleek hood and nose,
along with a new tail of the car. A distinct change in the quarter windows also
adds to the sleeker look.
The new 2015 Toyota Camry made its NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series debut at Daytona International Speedway during February’s
‘Speedweeks.’
