new v8 supercars 2023

In 2023, Supercars launched the Gen3 era: same thunderous V8s, but now in Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro bodywork, finally farewelling the Commodore.

The brief was simple: cut costs, slash aero, and make the racing spicier—so you get less downforce, more sliding, and cars that look closer to showroom coupes. The recipe keeps a six-speed sequential, naturally aspirated V8s on E85, and plenty of door-rubbing theatre. In short, “new V8 Supercars 2023” means Mustang vs Camaro, louder crowds, fewer gizmos, and Sunday arvo telly that goes by far too quickly.
