Car of the Future
So what is Car of the Future all about?
As detailed on the V8 Supercars website, for well over 12 months, talk of V8 Supercars’ ‘Car of the Future’ (COTF) has been buzzing around the V8 Supercars Championship paddock.
There’s been plenty written and said by media and fans — some of it inaccurate — about what COTF is,
why it’s being undertaken and what it all means. Some don’t understand it, while others have simply over- analysed it.
So, what does it all mean?
Put simply, the ‘DNA’ of V8 Supercar racing will not change from 2013 when this new generation of cars takes over from the Falcons and Commodores that currently make up the grid.
The cars will still feature V8 engines, rear-wheel drive and four doors.
They’ll also continue to make the same roar and be just as fast, if not actually faster. Currently, the chassis beneath the skin of the Falcon and Commodore are all extremely similar, with the next step being a control chassis — it’s cheaper and is also aimed at making it easier for other potential manufacturers to build a V8 Supercar.
