Following a preview earlier this year, the Red Bull Holden Racing team has unveiled the next-generation Commodore Supercar.
Recently tested at the Norwell Motorplex, the race car was subjected to 60 km (37.2 mile) long shakedown following a ten-month development program spearheaded by Triple Eight Race Engineering.
The car was driven by six-time Supercars Champion Jamie Whincup who said the vehicle “feels fantastic.” He added, “The work that they’ve done behind the scenes to this point, in my opinion we’re 99 percent there. There’s just some fine-tuning that’s got to go on in the next few weeks and the next few months until we fully unleash the full version in 2018.”
The development program will continue throughout the rest of the year and Triple Eight Race Engineering plans to conduct three full days of testing before finalizing the car’s aerodynamic package.
Holden hasn’t said much about the car but the company has already confirmed it will be homologated with the outgoing model’s V8 engine. It will be replaced in 2019 by a new twin-turbo V6 engine that is being developed at the General Motors Performance and Racing Center in Michigan.
