2012 Falcon V8 Supertourer:

Karl’s Ford V8 Supertourer chassis was built by Pace Innovations, which is the same chassis builder that the Supercars in Australia use. The car is powered by a 7-litre V8 race engine, with a six-speed sequential gearbox that produces 600 rear wheel horsepower. The car was originally built and raced by Eddie Bell in the V8 Supertourer series and by Brock Cooley in the current NZV8 series format. Upgrades to the Supertourer include traction control and engine enhancements to increase the power to about 600hp at the wheels. The car is now being campaigned in both sprint racing and endurance racing. It is proving to be reliable, competitive and a heap of fun to drive.
