Designed to accommodate a wide range of powertrain technologies and configurations – whether that be ICE (DI/PI), hybrid, or EV – Antares offers an impressive number of inputs and outputs, making it adaptable across diverse market segments, from motorsport to high-performance automotive.

Antares is built upon Cosworth’s powerful and hugely successful CHP2 platform, which brings vast control and logging capabilities, a dramatic increase in processor performance, and a platform for the creation of custom code via Cosworth’s Auto Coding platform utilising MATLAB Simulink tools.

The Antares is often only found at the pinnacle of motorsport competition, until now. Cosworth is pleased to introduce and expand the Antares family line up by launching the Antares 4 and 6: Cost-effective ECUs designed to bring the power and precision of Cosworth technology to a wider range of motorsport applications.

Retaining many of the advanced features, the 4 and 6 variants are tailored to meet budget-conscious applications whilst retaining the flexibility to be utilised as a complete vehicle controller and data logger. 

The Antares family of devices is fully supported by Cosworth’s application-specific and industry leading software tools to enable OEMs, teams and individual users alike to streamline development processes and trackside operations.  Cosworth’s Software Toolchain enables our customers to compete and win at all levels of motorsport.
