In an attempt to "modernize" the category following the admission of the Toyota Camry in 2022, the governing body approved the introduction of new models to the championship. 2024-model Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger bodystyles as well as a facelift to the existing Camry were ushered in, along with a fan-designed Torino concept with the goal of phasing out the existing cars over a three-year period. The new models will be built in Argentina, with the roof, rear fender and door panels imported from the manufacturers. [29] [30]
