Supercheap Auto Racing has taken the covers of their 2013 V8 Supercars Championship challenger.
In a unique warehouse-based launch where the car was 'delivered' to driver Russell Ingall and watching Supercheap Auto staff, the long-time V8 sponsor showcased their VF Commodore that the former champion hopes returns him to the top of the standings.
In Supercheap Auto's 16th year of involvement with V8 Supercars, the unique launch saw an Altona distribution centre staff receiving an order for a complete race team and culminated in Ingall requesting an 'amazing car' – that was then driven in to the warehouse.
"The designers of both the car and livery have got it dead right," Ingall said.

"The VF Commodore is a great shape to work with as a race car.
"It really ticks all the boxes – it's the best looking car I've seen since I started racing in the category in 1996."
Ingall confirmed late last year that he would 'go around again' for another season, and has earmarked the Car of The Future as a key factor in his commitment to the sport.
Ingall remains one of V8 Supercars biggest and most popular names and a series of strong results in the second half of 2012 showed fans he still has what it takes to compete at the front.
"Being completely new and different from the way V8s have always been built, COTF is quite a departure from the norm," Ingall said.
"Because I spent the early years of my career jumping between different categories, I believe I'll be able to adapt to the new car quite quickly.
"I'm not going into this season thinking about my last year, I'm just going into it as another year of racing. I'm probably more determined this year because of opportunities with new car.
"If I can come out of the first three rounds with a good bundle of points, I think I'll be able to have one of the best years I've had for a long time.
The Supercheap Auto VF was designed by the same Holden Design staff that penned the stunning Holden Racing Team cars unveiled recently; Ingalls's Walkinshaw Racing entry prepared out of the same garage as has been the case for several seasons.
"Walkinshaw Racing is probably the best prepared out of all the teams in having three cars totally prepared and tested before the start of the season," Ingall said.
"This will be a huge advantage in knowing what makes the car work and what the vulnerabilities are."
The new livery features a more black and red than previous, predominantly yellow, liveries.
