Chevrolet has recently launched the racing version of the 2014 Camaro Z/28, the Camaro Z/28.R, which will make its debut this weekend in the GS class of the IMSA Continental Tires SportsCar Challenge, the leading event for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R will share the aero, engine and the axle components with its road fellow, going on a sale this spring for a price of $75,000.

Since it shares the similarities of the Camaro Z/28, we might tell you that the two concepts were actually developed side by side. We are talking about a common rear spoiler, side sills, hood vents and wheel arch extensions.
