Aston gets into the Prototype business

The Le Mans Prototype business, that is. Introducing the new Lola/Aston Martin Coupe that Charouz Racing Systems will compete in the LMP1-class.

Its essentially an existing Lola LMP chassis refitted as a Coupe and using the V12 from Aston's GT1-class DBR9. Not the prettiest Aston ever, but should go like stink.

I was waiting and hoping for an official photo before posting any specifc information on the LMP1 program. The above looks like the LMP2 Lola B08/60 . . . (but I'm excited nonetheless!! )

I'm going to move to the Motorsport section, but I will leave a link. Hopefully we'll have some livery pictures very soon!!

And I am getting confused with this Lola chassis . . . . is it a LMP1 or LMP2?!

I doubt it will be able to keep up with the Audis, but it'll sure sound a lot cooler.
