Nissan Lemans Deltawing Love it or Hate it
Looks like a batmobile to me!!! Hate it too slow in the track and small to be seen just like what happen here. Nakijima in Toyota hybrid knock off both Japanese cars out of Lemans...Too sad.
Audi made it again with 4 cars finishing the race with 2 hybrids. Nissan DeltaWing Crash 24 Hours Le Mans 2012 - YouTube Watch out for a GTR hybrid! Future looks economical and FAST! |

I kind of like it. Most modern F1 and Sports Prototype looks leave me cold, but the Delta Wing is very refreshing. Hope it races again. I still can't figure out how it can corner with that narrow front track.

Just so you guys know, Nissan didn't design the car. Another company did. It was shown at the Petit LeMans without a manufacturer sponsor for the drivetrain. Nissan only provides the powerplant and sponsorship.

That sounds familiar, but I really can't remember.

I like it. That whole "harder to see" excuse is kind of BS if you ask me. The guy in the Toyota Hybrid was driving pretty aggressive into the turn and made a stupid move. It was almost one of those d*ck move you pull on Gran Turismo.

Nakijima just doesn't have the experience with Lemnas, Same thing happened to the young driver of the Ferrari that caused the Toyota Hybrid Flying in the air! |

Several other drivers complained that it was too small as well I think the concept is cool, but I like the regular cars. Those Audis are super sexy!

That just means the Toyota has crappy visibility. Compared to the Deltawing, that thing is probably like driving with an eyepatch. I'm not buying the lower visibility excuse. F-1 & Indy cars are pretty narrow up front too. It's about awareness of all cars around you to make a pass...and the Toyota driver just didn't have it. If my car has a blind spot and I hit something because I didn't see it, it's still my fault.

FWIW The horrific crash last year involving Rockenfeller's Audi and the Waltrip Ferrari, while debatable, was partially caused by this same poor visibility issue. With all the tech in the prototypes I'm really surprised they don't have some type of "blind spot monitoring" system.
