Toyota Shocks SEMA WITH 850HP Camry Dragster

Sleeper Camry Shock for Racing Fans Nationwide


Built by Toyota's Motorsports Techical center, the Sleeper Camry came together in just 11 short weeks. On the outside it's an all original 2015 Camry body,but on inside, the funny car has more Tundra DNA than anything else


A 2015 Tundra gave up its 5.7-liter V8 engine, transmission, rear axle and electronics for the build.However, Toyota figured that wasn’t quite enough, so the team slapped on a TRD supercharger, massive 335/30/18 drag racing wheelsand a 300-shot nitrous kit. Sleeper indeed. There’s even a trick exhaust system which can divert gases through the standard pipes or shoot ‘em straight out of the headers.


“This is is the most extreme build we’ve ever unveiled at SEMA,” said Toyota Engagement Marketing and Motorsports National Manager Steve Appelbaum. “The transformation from seemingly stock Camry to full-blown racecar just shocks the senses. Chuck Wade and the team at Motorsports Technical Center did a truly spectacular job executing the vision of this project.”


Toyota claims the boosted Camry will rocket through the quarter-mile in 9.8 seconds.

“This Camry is the ultimate Sleeper — it definitely has the element of surprise on its side and more than enough muscle to drop the hammer on any unsuspecting car that pulls up,” said Wade, Motorsports Technical Center Director.                      


The Sleeper Camry can be seen November 4-7 in the Toyota display booth (#24700) located in the Central Hall at the 2014 SEMA Show, but later after the SEMA Show it will tour the country at select NHRA races.
