Mother of Gawd!!!!!! This article popped into my news feed last night and I thought surely we could fit it into a teener.
Happy reading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/01/nissa...linder-le-mans/ |

Wonder how much that HUGE turbo adds to the weight total?
FWIW, the 'normal' Delta Wing sure seems to have issues with drivetrain parts lasting a full 24-hr race... |

I bet that 88 lb. is for the long block only, but still, very impressive! I saw the DeltaWing run at COTA (first time in closed-cockpit configuration) and it looks awesome in person. I don't know if it's an optical illusion or what, but it always looks like he car is sliding when cornering.

Can you lay it on its side? Just think of the trunk space.
