Nissan wants to rewrite the book with a car that looks better suited for the land speed record than the Le Mans 24 hour endurance race it’s going to undertake. Yet here it is, an ‘experimental race car’, which will be entered in this summer’s legendary event.
The big news here is that the DeltaWing is powered by a re-tuned version of the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine badged DIG-T (Direct Injection Gasoline – Turbocharged), but it now produces a more than impressive 300 horsepower.
“As motor racing rulebooks have become tighter over time, racing cars look more and more similar and the technology used has had less and less relevance to road car development," said Nissan boss, Andy Palmer. "Nissan DeltaWing aims to change that and we were an obvious choice to become part of the project.”
