Prodrive Racing Australia is currently evaluating the Mustang as a replacement for its Falcon Supercar, according to lead driver Mark Winterbottom.
Winterbottom is quoted in today’s Herald Sun as saying: “It is a way off being approved, but it is being worked on right now. We are planning on being in a Mustang next year.”
Just such a creation was recently previewed by these computer-generated images from SS Media.
PRA’s statement went on to say “Prodrive Racing appreciates the significant level of interest in this process from members, fans and media, but confirmation of its future plans will be made at the appropriate time.”
Current Supercars rules dictate a four-door sedan bodyshell, however the arrival of the Gen2 regulations for 2018 opens the door for two-door coupes like the Mustang, as well as alternative engine configurations, with Holden switching to a 3.6-litre turbocharged V6.
The 2017 Supercars championship season continues this weekend at Tasmania’s Symmons Plains Raceway.
