DELTAWING FOR 2012 LE MANS
I wondered if we'd ever see the 'Deltawing' again . . . . I just didn't expect it to show up at LeMans!

I wonder if the 1.6L will be a Ford EcoBoost?!![33](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/33.gif)

The new and experimental car is targeting competitive performance with only half the horsepower of the outright contenders. It does this through halving the amount of aerodynamic drag of traditional racing cars as well as a similar reduction in weight.
The Project 56 Group is in discussion with engine partners to provide a 1.6-liter turbocharged power plant for the project – producing approximately 300 horsepower.
The car will be unlike any previously seen at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car features a slender nose with extremely narrow front track – minimizing the horsepower required to push the car to speeds of 200mph around the 8.5 mile circuit.
