The premier tier of Australian motorsport, now known

drastic changes in its history when new technical
specifications will allow all manner of vehicles
and
engine configurations to take part from 2017 onwards.
For some it is sacrilege, for others it is the best thing
that could happen. One thing is for sure, with the
demise of local vehicle manufacturing in Australia,
the traditional red versus blue, Holden versus Ford
battlefront - that not so long ago represented the
sole two manufacturers in the championship, could
not continue forever.
So what will change? The 2017 Supercars, or whatever
they decide to name it, will no longer be the sole
domain of four door sedans fitted with a 5.0 litre
capacity V8 engine.
Referred to now as the Gen2 Supercar, the specifications
will allow current V8 Supercars to be joined by turbocharged six or four cylinder engine cars from 2017. The
cars must be publicly available for sale in Australia,
have a front mounted engine, be right hand drive and
have a full four-seat configuration, but the car does not
