The two Gen3 prototypes were formally unveiled at Mount Panorama this morning ahead of their 2022 testing programme.
A full field of Gen3 cars will then make their competitive debut at the opening round of the 2023 season.
As promised the next-generation cars very closely resemble their road-going counterparts, particularly when compared to the current Mustang Supercar.
As per the Gen3 rules the cars must have the same key dimensions of the road car they are based on.
The aero levels have clearly been significantly cut, with the current box-style rear wings replaced by more simple rear wings and the front splitters much shorter.
The Mustang has been developed by Ford’s homologation team Dick Johnson Racing with help from Ford Performance, while GM homologation team Triple Eight has been responsible for the Camaro.
“These are incredible looking race cars and it’s an historic occasion to be here today, unveiling them at the foot of Mount Panorama, our spiritual home of racing,” said Supercars CEO Sean Seamer.
“The motorsport and motoring worlds have been watching this announcement very closely as it is a massive opportunity for our sport to step up on several levels and attract a wider audience.
“Both the Mustang and Camaro give a nod to the Supercar of the past, with as much attention given to the design and appearance of the cars as the new technologies.
“With the work of the Gen3 Steering Committee, our manufacturers and the homologation teams, we truly believe these cars will create close racing with a more level playing field.”
“The Ford Mustang and GM Camaro are the first chapter of our new era that will be cost-effective for our major stakeholders and teams but retain the very core of our success – terrific and exciting Supercar racing, which is what our fans have been asking us for.”
