With Holden making a smooth transition from the VF Commodore to the new ZB on the track, attention now turns to the upcoming debut of its twin-turbo V6 engine.
The development of the ZB Supercar’s body has gone much more smoothly for Triple Eight Race Engineering than its new twin-turbo V6 engine.
Based on the LF4.R 3.6-litre unit developed by General Motors Racing for the now defunct Cadillac ATS-V.R Pirelli Wold Challenge program, it was originally intended to debut with the ZB at Adelaide this year.
Now the plan is to have a couple of wildcard outings in 2018 before it replaces the iconic Chev five-litre V8 in 2019.
“There is an awful lot of the engine that is standard road car,” explains Triple Eight boss Roland Dane.

Who are the greatest drivers in the 60-year history of the Australian Touring Car Championship/Supercars? We rank the top 60 with an emphasis on best championship finishes, race-winning percentage and competitive longevity. Only drivers with top 10 championship finishes were considered, to emphasise championship performances over part-time or endurance campaigns. Also, results from the Bathurst 1000 and other endurance events were only factored in when they were part of the championship.
