Erebus Motorsport has revealed its new era, with the pair of striking Coca-Cola Camaros it will field in the 2023 Supercars Championship.
The two-car Melbourne based team is then first to show off its warpaint on a Chevrolet Camaro with Matt Stone Racing completing a shakedown in a test livery.
Having been supported by Coca-Cola since 2019, the famous soft drink has upped its backing in 2023 to bring the iconic red and white colours back to Supercars.
Erebus revealed its new look for the Gen3 era with drivers Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki at Movie World on the Gold Coast.

The striking livery both Erebus Motorsport Chevrolet Camaros will carry in the 2023 Supercars Championship.
Coke first arrived on the Australian motorsport scene in 1969 when Allan Moffat campaigned an iconic Ford Mustang.
But the Coke Commodores fielded by Wayne Gardner racing from 1994 to 1999 captured a special place in motor racing fan’s hearts and Erebus’ new look will evoke memories from the #19 VY Commodore Gardner drove at Albert Park, Adelaide and Bathurst in 1999.

Coke returned in 2020 when Chris Pither drove for Team Sydney, while Macauley Jones brought the colours to Brad Jones Racing the following year.
Pither brought the famous WGR Coke colours back to Supercars last year with a special 1995 tribute livery at Bathurst, Gold Coast and Adelaide with PremiAir Racing.
Erebus Motorsport’s Managing Director Shannen Kiely was thrilled to show off the team’s new look.

The black wave flows across all points of the car.
“It’s a privilege to be up here at Movie World today to show off our new look for 2023,” Kiely said.
“There has never been a more exciting time for our sport, and the launch of our new car marks a significant milestone not only for the category but also our team.
“We are very proud to unveil our Coca-Cola Camaros, and I’d like to thank all of our team partners for their support.”
“We look forward to hitting the track next week and getting the new season underway.”
