MARC Cars Australia have announced their latest model, set to debut in 2022, the MARC GT.

The specialist endurance racing cars designed and built in Australia will broaden their range with the introduction of the new GT body style next season.

Following on from the success of the MARC Focus and MARC Mazda chassis’ the next generation MARC car has once again been built in partnership between MARC Cars Australia and PACE Innovations.

“The MARC Focus and Mazda have both been such a successful car for the MARC Cars team and it was a key point for the design brief that we didn’t lose the identity of the previous MARC cars in this new design.” said Geoff Taunton, owner of MARC Cars Australia.

“Working with PACE Innovations whom have designed our previous MARC Focus / Mazda & MARC II V8, they immediately understood the direction this car needed to go – so we know the quality and finish will be to the highest standard in line with our other models.”

The MARC GT will continue to run most of the proven components from the previous models including the Albins ST6 Transaxle with Paddle Shift, Brembo brake package, PACE Innovations modular upright system.

However the company will adopt the GM LS3 engine for the latest MARC GT model instead of the previous used Coyote 5.0L V8.

The new MARC GT body style will be made up of custom moulded composite material that has been designed and built in Australia.

In addition, the latest MARC Car will continue to combine the highest safety standards on par with previous models and a combination of affordability and performance for owners & drivers.

An initial build will see the first three MARC GT’s debut as part of the company’s one-make series – the MARC Cars Championship – which joins the AMRS calendar for 2022.
