DTM blinks first and unveils DTM Electric for 2023:


Onboard with Abt: https://youtu.be/IfOUpjpXnOc?t=324
(The test car is actually this modified Audi production touring car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeXZs_XAmME )

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).
