Andretti Autosport has confirmed that it will partner with Chevrolet, and therefore use the manufacturer's V6 race engines for the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series.
The Andretti clan and Chevrolet have had a long and successful association throughout the years with Michael and Mario collectively scoring the most wins (20) for Chevrolet from 1987 to 1991.
Michael recorded the most Chevrolet wins in a season when he scored eight victories on the way to winning the 1991 CART/PPG IndyCar World Series championship.
The 2012 Chevrolet IndyCar 2.2 liter, V6 will have aluminum block and cylinder heads, direct injection and two turbochargers.
Engine manufacturers will commence on-track testing in earnest in early October. Teams are scheduled to take delivery of their first chassis in mid-December, and team testing will begin January 2012.
