‘It’s a Deal,’ Honda and Chevrolet Extend Indycar Engine Agreement
The multiyear contracts secure Chevrolet and Honda as engine suppliers through 2027 with both manufacturers playing key roles in new car and competition rule development.
- On Feb 12, 2026, INDYCAR announced multiyear deals with Chevrolet and Honda as official OEMs, starting in 2027, with contract terms undisclosed.
- Honda had been non-committal for almost two years and its contract expired at the end of the 2026 season, while INDYCAR sought to lock in manufacturers to support growth tied to its Fox broadcast partnership and Penske Entertainment developments.
- Manufacturers will help develop the 2.4-liter twin-turbocharged hybrid V6 engines for the 2028 car, with Chevrolet and Honda continuing 2.2-liter twin-turbo hybrid V6 production in 2027.
- The deals give the series immediate stability as it seeks audience growth with Fox and end speculation about Honda leaving; each OEM may own one chartered car beginning in 2028, but teams at the three-charter limit cannot add a fourth.
- Looking toward 2028, manufacturers' roles in car development could shift team dynamics as chartered entries become eligible for Leaders Circle compensation, reshaping competition and finances.
