V8 Supercars is a touring car racing category based in Australia and run as an International Series under FIA regulations. The vehicles used in the series are loosely based on road-going, four-door saloon cars. Cars are custom made using a control chassis, with only certain body panels being common between the road cars and race cars. To ensure parity between each make of car, many control components are utilised. All cars must use a 5.0-litre, naturally aspirated V8-engine.
The car is based on the latest Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and is built by Erebus Motorsport in Australia with components sourced from AMG. The cars are the first AMG race cars to ever be built outside of Germany.
Erebus is a customer team of AMG and will independently field three of its E63 AMG race cars in the 2013 season of V8 Supercars. The team already races the SLS AMG GT3 in other motorsport categories.
Erebus has been allowed to use a Mercedes-Benz as its race car in the popular V8 Supercars series due to the new Car of the Future regulations, which has opened up the series to more entries.
