The first images, courtesy of Derci Design, have been released of Austech Motorsport's new GT racer. The car, based on the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, will be available in both GTE and GT3 spec along with a Grand-Am version.

Powered by a Hyundai derrived V8, which is also available for use in Prototypes. In GT3 spec it will be fed by a 100l fuel tank, driving power to the rear wheels. There are currently no details available from the team's website about the GTE version.

The team are targeting a full FIA GT3 homologation which could see the car racing in series such as the Blancpain Endurance Series, GT3 Europe and even GT1 World Championship by the end of the year.
