The Nissan Delta Wing
I didn't know they were developing it with Nissan! I happen to know Ben Bowlby - his son races karts at the same track as I do. I've always said hi & chatted with him for years, never realizing he was a car designer. Didn't know it until the release of the DW.
maybe I can get a ride in it now since...y'know..I have a Nissan, too! Nissan DeltaWing launch - 13th March 2012 - Innovation that Excites - YouTube And here's a pic of the first Delta Wing that I took at the Ganassi race shop in Indy a few weeks ago. |

I saw the videos and it looks cool, but I don't understand how it gets "substantial weight savings" just from the shape (compared to regular single seaters).

I'm interested to see how this turns out, especially with such a narrow front track.
