Giancarlo Perlas February 28, 2013

After the unveiling of the new V8 Supercar of Erebus Motorsport here is a look at how it actually performed during its unveiling and pre-season test.

According to Autoblog, the AMG race car is the first of its kind to be built outside of Germany. Its 5.0-liter engine came from Germany though. It was provided by HWA which is the racing arm of AMG.

As reported, the car has around 650 HP with about 7,000 to 7,500 rpm and torque. The body panels were channeled to go with the design of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.

The three team cars will be driven by Lee Holdsworth, Maro Engel and Tim Slade. However, each car will have different sponsors.

The cars will be featured in Adelaide at the state of South Australia in Australia on March 3. Audiences in the U.S.A. can see them in action sometime around May at the Circuit of the Americas.
