Machines | The Making of the Triple Eight: Project Sandman Tribute Edition Holden V8 Supercar
videos | at work | information | view | construction
The Triple Eight Project Sandman Tribute Edition is the product of the combination of one idea, an Australian motoring icon, six months of blood, sweat and tears and one V8 Supercar team. Born out of the Triple Eight Race Engineering stable in Brisbane, Australia, the vehicle is a one-off concept with a twist. With equal parts tribute and racing technology, the Triple Eight Project Sandman Tribute Edition is a two-seater, 700HP beast, with more power, straight-line speed and technology than your standard V8 Supercar. Taking influence from the pinnacles of modern motorsport, Project Sandman uses an F1-inspired paddle shift gear box and fly by wire throttle system ensuring that the vehicle continues to push the boundaries of Australia's premier motorsports category, V8 Supercars. Project Sandman is capable of reaching speeds of over 300km/h while maintaining the pure thrill and adrenaline rush of a Red Bull Racing Australia V8 Supercar.

i am a ford man 100% but the sandman is probably the most iconic and sexiest aussie cars beside the phase 3
-
Every SSV/HSV should sound like this.
-
Holden should just make one like that and give me one please
-
I just want one
-
Monaro wagon anyone?
-
It gotta have a rear wing!
-
Holden should remake the Sandman before they stop building commodores. great car and a awesome way to pay tribute to one of Australias muscle car icons
-
This car should be the official pace car for the V8 Supercars! I'm just hoping that Guido Dumarey (Belgian businessman) successfully purchases Holden from Garbage Motors. At least we'll have one Aussie manufacturer left and the historically more important one.
-
I'd rather put a vf series 2 v8 in the old hx sandman
-
Paddle shift "Something you might see in a F1 car"........or a 7 year old vw gti.
-
That car I would see in Forza 6 😊😊
-
Looks awesome but I would think they could try more but nice pride
-
people saying it's not a sandman well no shit it's just a tribute get it through your thick heads omg do you guys think before you even speak or does your. mouth think for you
-
Awesome project..great colour choice!
-
you Aussies are awesome, i hope some day see the holden in Brazil. :)
-
Yes looks and siunds great. But it doesn't exactly reflect the origens of the sandman. This fastback design doesn't do any of this any justice. I sure hope Holden listens in and reads what people are trying to tell them.
-
Sen-bleeeeeeeding-sational...but can you still root in the back?
-
Would be nice to hear the motor, Also would like to know what was done to the Engine? More details less fluff!!!
