Thanks for clearing that up!

On a video I watched yesterday, the Nissan representative stated that the Nissan V8 Supercar would be based on a NEW sedan that is yet to be released and WILL be running a Nissan engine.

0:17 All new Nissan sedan.
1:12 Four new Nissan cars with Nissan engines.

I'm sure that the "shell" of whatever car they used has to be based on a production car. So i'm guessing Nissan is about to release a brand new chassis?

Anyway, I hope they end up using the VK56VD/DE engine.

The body panels will be production based, and of course a sedan. Bolted to the same chassis as everyone else in the series will run. Doesn't matter if the panels are off a FWD, 4WD, whatever drivetrain.

Engine apparently has to be limited to maintain "parity" between makes, so what this will entail I'm not sure.

This is a really nice rundown on what the COTF regs consist of.
