NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Chevrolet's last NASCAR Camaro — the Next Gen ZL1 — captured in 328 LEGO® pieces during its final season.

Set #76935 2024 328 pieces 8-stud Current

When LEGO® Speed Champions launched 76935 on 1 August 2024, the real Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was already on borrowed time. NASCAR had announced the Camaro would exit the Cup Series at the end of 2024 — Chevrolet's bowtie stock car would be renamed simply 'ZL1' for 2025, with no production-car link. Set 76935, designed by Markus Rollbühler, captures the Camaro at the very end of its NASCAR life: the seventh-generation 'Next Gen' chassis that debuted at the 2022 Daytona 500, with 18-inch single-lug wheels, a stepped front splitter, and a symmetrical composite body that finally let stock cars handle right turns. 328 pieces, US$26.99, and a piece of NASCAR history that closed the same year the model came out.

The Next Gen Camaro ZL1 is a closer technical relative of a GT3 racer than of the previous-generation NASCAR car. That tension — composite-bodied stock car with the silhouette of a 2017 ZL1 production coupé — is what Markus Rollbühler had to land at 8-stud scale.

THE RACE CAR

NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

670 hp pushrod V8. Sequential transaxle. Independent rear suspension. The most modern stock car NASCAR ever built.

The Next Gen — NASCAR's seventh-generation Cup Series chassis — replaced the Generation 6 car at the 2022 Daytona 500. Chevrolet's entry was the Camaro ZL1, with bodywork loosely based on the sixth-generation Camaro ZL1 production coupé that General Motors built between 2017 and 2024. In NASCAR trim it was a clean-sheet design: a single-source common chassis built by Dallara, a composite body built by Five Star Race Car Bodies, and a list of running-gear changes that finally pulled stock cars into the modern era.

Mechanically the Next Gen Camaro is unrecognisable from the Generation 6 car it replaced. Eighteen-inch forged-aluminium single-lug wheels (up from 15-inch steel five-lug). Independent rear suspension (replacing a solid live axle that had been NASCAR doctrine since 1948). A sequential five-speed transaxle from X-Trac (replacing an H-pattern Borg-Warner). Underbody aerodynamics with a stepped front splitter, side skirts and a rear diffuser. Symmetrical body panels — left and right finally identical, ending decades of body-side offsets that biased cars for left turns only.

The engine is a Chevrolet R07 5.86-litre pushrod V8 producing approximately 670 horsepower (or 510 hp on superspeedways with a tapered spacer). Aspiration is naturally aspirated; redline is around 9,500 rpm. The car weighs a minimum of 3,400 lb (1,542 kg) without driver and fuel.

Camaro's NASCAR career ended after the 2024 season. Production of the road-going Camaro ended at GM's Lansing plant in January 2024, leaving Chevrolet's NASCAR programme without a model link. For 2025, Chevrolet renamed all bowtie Cup Series cars simply 'ZL1' — no production-car name — until a future model replacement is announced. That makes 76935 the only LEGO® Speed Champions set to capture the Camaro nameplate in NASCAR colours.

Display ideas

  • Pair with 76920 Ford Mustang Dark Horse — same era, opposite philosophies: the Ford is a road-going naturally aspirated muscle car, the Chevrolet is a NASCAR-bodied composite race car.
  • Display with the hood removed to expose the engine and roll cage — the build's race-car detail is hidden when fully closed.
  • Group with 77251 McLaren MCL38 and 77242 Ferrari SF-24 as a 'three forms of motorsport at 8-stud scale' shelf: F1, F1, NASCAR.

People

One LEGO® designer, two Chevrolet motorsports executives, and the chassis builder that finally modernised the stock car.

Markus Rollbühler

LEGO® SET DESIGNER

Markus Rollbühler is credited with 76935 — and with several of the 2024–2026 Speed Champions sets including the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale (77254). The NASCAR Camaro is one of his more constrained briefs: a touring-car silhouette with a roll cage visible through the side windows, a stepped front splitter, and the boxed-in Cup Series number-46-position numbers. Rollbühler has spoken in LEGO® designer interviews about reconciling stock-car proportions with 8-stud scale.

Eric Warren

GM DIRECTOR OF NASCAR PROGRAMS

Eric Warren leads General Motors' NASCAR Cup Series programme — the Chevrolet engineering side of the bowtie's tie-up with Hendrick Motorsports, Trackhouse, RCR, Kaulig and Spire. He oversaw the Camaro ZL1's three Next Gen seasons (2022, 2023, 2024) and the transition to the renamed Chevrolet 'ZL1' for 2025. Reporters at NASCAR.com have described Warren as the public face of Chevrolet motorsports on the technical side.

Jim Campbell

GM VP, PERFORMANCE & MOTORSPORTS

Jim Campbell has run General Motors' Performance and Motorsports division across IMSA, IndyCar and NASCAR for more than a decade. He is the Chevrolet executive who signed off on the Camaro's 2018 NASCAR debut (replacing the SS), on the Next Gen Camaro ZL1's 2022 introduction, and on the 2025 renaming to 'ZL1' once the road car was retired. Chevrolet press releases credit Campbell as the bridge between the Camaro's NASCAR programme and the road-going ZL1's marketing.

Dallara — chassis builder

WHO BUILDS THE NEXT GEN CHASSIS

The Next Gen common chassis is built in Speedway, Indiana by Dallara, the Italian motorsport-engineering firm best known as the IndyCar chassis supplier. NASCAR's choice of a single-source chassis builder for all manufacturers — Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota — was the structural shift that made the rest of the Next Gen revolution possible. The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1's body bolts onto a Dallara tub identical to the Mustang's and Camry's beneath the carbon-composite skin.

The build

Scale and era

76935 is a 2024 release in the 8-stud era of LEGO® Speed Champions, the scale the line moved to in 2020. It launched on 1 August 2024 — separate from the March 2024 wave — and is the line's only NASCAR set as of April 2026.

At 328 pieces it sits mid-range for a single-vehicle Speed Champions set, comparable to the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale (77254, 339 pieces) and slightly smaller than the Ford Mustang Dark Horse (76920, 347 pieces) it sometimes gets paired with as a Ford-vs-Chevy display.

Build highlights

The build's signature features are race-car-specific: a removable hood that exposes a printed engine block, a roll cage visible through the cabin, a fire extinguisher element, and a functional rear spoiler. A printed dashboard with NASCAR-style toggle-switch decals replaces the road-car instrument cluster of other Speed Champions sets.

Markus Rollbühler has talked in LEGO® designer interviews about the visual signature he had to land: the stepped front splitter (reproduced as a stack of low slope pieces) and the 18-inch single-lug wheels (the Next Gen wheel format that distinguishes the chassis from older Generation 6 NASCAR cars). The build runs across 5 bags and roughly 111 build steps.

What the 328 pieces buys you

328 pieces, one driver minifigure, a removable hood, and the most race-car-specific build LEGO® has produced in the Speed Champions line since the 2020 transition. Where most 8-stud Speed Champions sets are road cars with optional racing trim, 76935 is a stock car first — the cabin detailing assumes you'll display it with the hood off.

About the driver figure

The set includes a single NASCAR driver minifigure in a Chevrolet-branded fire suit with bowtie torso print, with a separate helmet element. No licensed-driver likeness — Chevrolet's NASCAR drivers in 2024 included Kyle Larson, William Byron, Chase Elliott, Ross Chastain and Erik Jones, but the figure is a generic Chevrolet team driver.

FAQ
