A WAVE of brand-new Gen3 Supercar chassis are due to hit the grid next month.
V8 Sleuth estimates nine cars will be debuted at the Sydney 500 in a major injection of fresh metal.
Triple Eight (three) and Walkinshaw TWG Racing (two) are fielding completely new fleets of cars for their respective moves to Ford and Toyota.
Brad Jones Racing has also started from scratch for two of its three Supras, with the third to be converted from the Camaro which André Heimgartner raced in 2025.
Tickford Racing has committed to building at least one new chassis, given that the Monster Mustang campaigned by Cam Waters last year was due to be handed over to buyer Scott Taylor.
Likewise, Grove Racing was planning to build at least one new car following the decision to retire its Bathurst winner.
So, that makes nine, and there’s still scope for more beyond that – including if Tickford and/or Grove build a second new car, and when Triple Eight and Walkinshaw inevitably assemble spares for themselves.
Erebus Motorsport is also chipping away on at least one new chassis to be deployed mid-season, though it is expected to start the year with two existing machines.
The chassis influx comes at a good time to heighten the total number of available cars for when Gen3 regulations enter Super2 in 2028.
