The category is set to move to more modern, less highly-strung engines as part of its Gen3 rules , in a bid to slash both acquisition and running costs. Both the Ford and GM units are expected to be based on 'crate' engines, the Coyote for the Mustang and the LS or LT series for the Camaro. That will mean a move back to a mix of overhead cam and pushrod style engines, while there is also expected to be a difference in capacities. While the current regulations limit capacity to 5000cc, it's understood Ford is looking at the 5.4-litre version of its crate V8, while the Chevy unit could be as much as six litres. According to Supercars CEO Sean Seamer final capacities have yet to be decided, however motors are on the test bench and parity work has begun. "The engine development is underway," said Seamer. "There's plenty of work to do, but the timeline is very achievable. "We haven't landed on final capacities. Our focus is on paritising them. We know we are … [Read more...] about Testing has started on Gen3 Supercars engines

BMW 8 Series Coupe Spied Hiding Discreet Facelift
Small tweaks for one of BMW's most beautiful modern cars. Approximately 48 hours ago, we shared the first spy photos with the updated BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe . Today, the stylish four-door is joined by its sportier 8 Series Coupe sibling which, at least at a glance, appears to be featuring the same visual revisions. Let’s take a deeper look though.

Erebus to run Camaros in 2022
According to Ryan the squad is set to continue its alliance with GM products, moving from the Commodore to the Camaro next season. He says the decision is the outcome of both team owner Betty Klimenko's person preference and positive chats with General Motors representatives during last weekend's Mount Panorama 500. "At this I think we'll stay with GM," Ryan told SEN's The Driver's Seat. "There's no reason to change. We spoke to some GM guys on the weekend and it sounds like they've got a plan, which is good. "Betty is more of a GM person than a Ford person and she does a lot of these [decisions] on emotion, as much as she's a businesswoman. I think you'll see us in GM hardware." Erebus has a history that spans across a number of manufacturers, starting with Ford during the Stone Brothers Racing days. Klimenko then instigated a customer AMG programme after buying the team at the end of 2012, before a successful switch to Holden led by Ryan in 2016.
