The Toyota Camry will have a different look in 2017.

Toyota officially unveiled the 2018 Toyota Camry passenger car on Monday and along with it, showed off the redesigned Camry that will compete in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

“The collaboration between Calty Design Group and TRD has produced a NASCAR Camry that showcases aggressive styling that is sure to turn heads on the race track and among our fans in Toyota showrooms across the country,” Toyota vice president of marketing Ed Laukes said in a statement. “Reimagining both the Camry race car and its production counterpart has been a tremendous undertaking and our goal has been to maintain parallel design characteristics so our fans can enjoy driving a Camry that closely resembles the one their favorite NASCAR driver races each weekend.”

The official release of the new Camry comes as Chevrolet confirmed it will discontinue production of the Chevy SS at the end of the year. The SS, of course, is the car that Chevy Cup teams run. So Chevrolet teams will need to find a new car model to run in 2018.
