Some of the main names in American motorsport contain joined armed forces for the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans to showcase a sole concept demonstrating great presentation by means of semi the heaviness and horsepower of a customary racing car.
The Project 56 collection brings jointly the plan talents of DeltaWing Racing Cars LLC; the manufacturing of All American Racers " the corporation owned by 1967 Le Mans winner and American racing legend Dan Gurney; and back-to-back American Le Mans Series championship charming racing team, Highcroft Racing.
American Le Mans Series founder Dr. Don Panoz has too joined the project as a key advisor.
The collection has conventional an invitation as of Le Mans 24 Hour contest organizers, the Automobile Club de lOuest to contest the 2012 contest as an extra 56th entry.
The 56th put on the grid is reserved for a technologically innovative car to participate œoutside the classifications " a vehicle showcasing new truthfully and sole technologies before unseen in the worlds most later power race.
While racing cars contain traditionally strived for greater supposed before presentation from side to side minute in horsepower and aerodynamic downforce, the DeltaWing concept concentrates on exploiting efficiency minute establish exterior contemporary regulations to decrease petroleum use with no reducing performance.
The new and experimental car is targeting spirited presentation by means of merely semi the horsepower of the outright contenders. It fake petroleum from side to side halving the quantity of aerodynamic drag of customary racing cars as healthy as a similar decrease in weight.The Project 56 Group is in conversation by means of engine partners to give a 1.6-liter turbocharged authority plant for the project " use about 300 horsepower.
The car determination be unlike any before seen at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car skin a slender nose by means of very thin front path " thread the horsepower necessary to shove the car to speeds of 200mph approximately the 8.5 supplies circuit.

KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES:
¢ Engine and broadcast are œnon-stressed members in the chassis structural plan construct intended the fitting of a broad diversity of lightweight powertrains.
¢ The car skin a 4 cylinder 1600cc liquid intercooled turbocharged engine so as to determination produce about 300 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and weigh 70kg.
¢ Transmission is a 5 pace advantage overturn longitudinal plan by means of electrical sequential paddle shift actuation. The differential skin an well-organized changeable torque steer/differential speed-controlled planetary final drive decrease layout by means of the ,whole broadcast weighing merely 33kg.
¢ Vehicle heaviness distribution is necessarily additional rearward supposed traditionally seen by means of 72.5% of the accumulation recognized by the broad path better back tires.
¢ 76% of the aerodynamic downforce fake on the back of the car construct has a lift to drag ratio of >5.0.
¢ Rear wheel drive joined by means of the rearward heaviness and aerodynamic distributions greatly enhances inline armed up capability.
¢ Unique in the center of relations racing cars, additional supposed 50% of the vehicles braking power is generated at the back the middle of gravity charitable a dynamically stable response.
¢ Locking tendency of the un-laden front wheel at bend entry is greatly abridged due to virtually no lateral load transfer by means of the thin front track/wide back path layout, steered wheel œscrub drag moment is virtually zero greatly rising tire utilization and reducing mid twist understeer.
¢ Advanced computer modeling of structures, crash power management, aerodynamics, vehicle dynamics and tires has person's name second-hand to expand the DeltaWing design.
¢ Driver position, self-control layout and power absorbing structures intended to get together the newest occupant continued existence criteria.
