v8 supercars 2023 cars

In 2023, the Supercars circus wheeled out Gen3, swapping the old guard for the Ford Mustang GT and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Both run naturally aspirated V8s, rear-wheel drive, and a 6-speed sequential gearbox, with power around ~450 kW and noticeably trimmed aero to spice up the racing. The brief was simpler panels, tougher racing, and budgets that don’t make team accountants weep into their flat whites. Setups are still a dark art, but the hardware is tightly controlled to keep the madness civilised. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
