The Sandman has been the test car for the development of Holden’s 3.6 litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine this year, which will make its competitive debut in the Next-Generation Commodore in 2019. Four-time Bathurst winner, Greg Murphy, was the man behind the wheel for the Sandman V6 TT’s first outing at the 6.213km home of Australian motorsport. “If you’re going to launch the Sandman V6 TT for the first time to the Australian public, what better place to do it than right here in Bathurst,” said Murphy. “The noise inside the car was certainly different, it was a lot louder and tougher than I expected. The throttle response and driveability of the engine was awesome as well.” Triple Eight Race Engineering Managing Director, Roland Dane, echoed Murphy’s sentiments on the sound of the new V6 engine. “I really love the sound but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so sound is in the ear of the beholder I suppose, so we’ll see what people think. “We’ve been concentrating on making the new engine more user-friendly by focusing on mapping and the power curve. It will be an ongoing process and I’d say we’ve only done about 20 percent of the work we need to.” TWIN-TUBO HOLDEN V6 3.6 LITRE V6 ENGINE • Twin Turbochargers • 650BHP • 7,500 max RPM • 0-100km/h 3.4 seconds, top speed TBC… • Formula 1-inspired Fly By Wire electronic throttle control • Air-to-Air Intercoolers • Pneumatic Wastegate control TWIN-TURBO HOLDEN V6 SUPERCAR CHASSIS • Chassis 888-032 raced by Jamie Whincup in 2013, retired after Winton • Eight race wins and 11 pole positions • Unique Holden-designed body • Hand built by Triple Eight Race Engineering The Sandman V6 TT returns to the track throughout the weekend, don’t miss your chance to witness a piece of Australian motorsport history.
