DTM blinks first and unveils DTM Electric for 2023:
Onboard with Abt:

(The test car is actually this modified Audi production touring car:

They will feature 1000-1200hp, AWD and contest 30-min sprint races (it is unclear if the sprint races require a battery swap). Racing weight has not been mentioned that I can find (presume 2.5+ tonnes?).
Initial signs of manufacturer interest seem to be very positive!
Will Supercars follow suit?
If so, when should Supercar go electric? 2023? 2024? 2025?
A missed opportunity to not get ahead of the curve and go electric with Gen 3 in 2021?

Sacrilege given the 3.0L V8 is the highlight of the whole car? I think so, but there it is... a Ferrari EV (with a lot more power than the original).
