Since its return to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES as an engine manufacturer in 2012, Chevrolet has powered six Indianapolis 500 victories and seven Drivers’ and nine Manufacturers’ championships. Now, the brand is looking to add to the tally for years to come.
The INDYCAR SERIES announced that Chevrolet has made a multiyear commitment to be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the series for 2027 and beyond.
“Chevrolet has enjoyed a long, successful relationship with INDYCAR as an engine manufacturer, and this extension paves the way for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES to continue to grow and for us to further maximize technology transfer from race to road,” General Motors President Mark Reuss said.
Chevrolet will be a collaborator in the development of the next-generation INDYCAR SERIES chassis – which is set to enter competition in 2028 – and competition rules, and is working on a new 2.4-liter, twin-turbocharged, hybrid V6 to power its entrants.
INDYCAR represents the top level of American open-wheel racing, with the series visiting a unique combination of permanent road courses, street circuits, and ovals. Its crown jewel is the Indy 500, held every May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Chevrolet provides five teams with a 2.2-liter hybrid twin-turbo V6 making up to 735 horsepower. INDYCAR is a place for Chevy to compete, but also to develop new technologies that filter into production vehicles.
The 2026 INDYCAR season kicks off March 1 with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and crisscrosses North America through September, with the season-finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey California. This year will also see a unique event – the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C., held on the streets of the US capital to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary.
In other words, there will be plenty of opportunity for Chevy to keep racking up wins.
