Ford Australia revealed its third-generation racer for the Repco Supercars Championship at the legendary Mount Panorama ahead of this weekend’s Bathurst 1000. Powered by a 5.4-liter version of the Coyote V8, this iteration of the race car is the closest-to-production version ever made for the Supercars Championship. Built to meet Gen3 regulations, the new set of rules for the series that aims to increase relevance to roadgoing products.
That means that the Mustang, and the Camaro
against which it will compete, will have fewer aerodynamic aids, reduce the
costs for teams, and hopefully increase on-track entertainment for the fans
since cars can draft more easily.
Although performance figures remain scant,
the car is slated for testing in 2022 and its racing debut will come at the
first round of the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship season.
Those interested in seeing the Gen3
Mustang Supercar ahead of its racing debut are in luck as the Gen3 Supercars
prototype is scheduled to do demonstration laps on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
between events at the Bathurst 1000.
