Looks pretty fantastic with those gray stripes on it. And I'm not a big fan of the white letters on the tires trend, but it certainly works on that car.

I sure hope it doesn't!! ...just ordered a GS in Sebring Orange and now "patiently" waiting for our TPW. If it comes out anywhere close to how it shows on that Camaro I'll be happier than a dog with two tails!! 😎

I'm thinking it will be the same as the Camaro or super close. This quote was from the Corvette Museum about Sebring Orange.....
“It matches an Orange Crush can and doesn’t photograph as accurately,” said Wendy Miller, Model Option Forecaster. “It’s fun and metallic and is a color that needs to be seen. It was launched at Carlisle with pretty universal excitement!”
The new Hotwheels color is called "crush". Also, don't forget that the Corvette and Camaro came in Inferno Orange so they have shared colors before. I for one will be looking at a Z06 in this color. Pair this with black wheels, carbon fiber accents and Orange calipers (even if they have to be powder coated) and you are looking at one wicked ride!!
Can't Wait!

Until we can see a build sheet from both to know what the real color name is we won't know for sure I suppose. The underlying factory color name is the same across platforms like Watkins Glen Gray is really Son of a Gun Gray.

Different lighting plays tricks with colors, especially bright ones. Bright sunlight looks very different than the lighting in the pic above.
I think it's the same color shown first at Carlisle, but Mountaineers is right, we'll only know when we see build sheets. However, I really don't think GM would adopt two new shades of orange in a single MY, unless they deviate from past practice.

The Camaro has shared a lot of colors with the Corvette recently, they have had a color identical to Laguna Blue for example (I have a friend who had a Laguna Blue C7 and now has the same blue on a 6th gen Camaro) The Camaro also came in Crystal Red (once again I know someone with that color on a Camaro) I'm sure there are a few other color they share too. So it would make sense for them to share this new orange with the Camaro also.

It makes for a beautiful Camaro and I believe that it will look even better on a C7.
Please make mine a Z06 coupe.
