V8 Supercars Car of the Future Launch - Sydney 2011

[XR8xSHOCKWAVE]

I like the intention, but not the execution.

+ IRS, transaxel gearbox, 18" wheels, lightweight : )

- Every car, from every manufacturer will be identical under the skin; nothing like any road car you can buy from Ford or Holden.

@XR8xSHOCKWAVE They're already like that

[MsBountiful]

Bring back real production car racing.

This will be good, the bright future of Aussie V8 supercars! How sweet would it be to see Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar and other European, Japanese included 4 door sedan competing against Holden and Ford.

This will be a V8 heaven!!!

Good to see they finally realized that sports sedans are better ,& decided to copy us & start building them .

Get out & have a look at a sports sedan race meeting , We've had these things for 30 + years ,,,, only better , lighter , more powerful and faster , not to mention more diversity of vehicles than any current category .

Yep , there just an average sports sedan.!!

good to see they removed the roll bar that covers the front window, that was deadset dangerous having that there

[jezz1976]

@DXHeartBreakKidDX..ask craig lowndes if it was dangerous being there when the tyre went through his windscreen

[fabsalomon85]

@jezz1976 you're right they should get that roll bar back it's really dangerous not having it there

[The59002]

@fabsalomon85 the larry bar has gone as windscreens are now stronger.

Finally, this Ford v Holden racing line business has been a huge borefactor on the sport for years. Bring Nissan, Toyota and some others on board!

Better racing cars, better racing, more manufacturers, ingredients for more exciting AND competitive racing. Bring back the grudges against Nissan haha.

[mauownage]

@ignuz Nissan has an edge in the engine front though, their V8 engines are winning races in GT1, GT500 and LMP2.

And it came from the Nissan Titan/Armada.

[Tizzzla]

@ignuz Yea hopefully, don't expect to see anything other than Ford vs Holden in 2013....

[Nikk0lass]

@Tizzzla

And Nissan and Chrysler...

[Tizzzla]

@Nikk0lass Haha I'm glad I was wrong. Chrysler hasn't been confirmed?

[antif1]

Awesome stuff! V8 SC RULEZZZZ!!!

[beerocked]

ITS A FREAKING SPORT SEDAN !

[MattA1GP]

@beerocked Who cares?

[MattA1GP]

@beerocked If the cars in the DTM can be somehow classified as Touring Cars, so can the V8's.
