    Default DeltaWing Coupe...look at your own risk!

    Looks like the Blue Flame LSR car shortened and chrome-wrapped.

    It looks like something Leela from Futurama would drive.

    Likewise. I posted that sentiment back when the first Delta Wing was revealed, along with image.

    The blue flame was much more attractive.

    come to think, maybe the DW guys ought to consider a Land Speed Record attempt for the low horsepower class since it is so aero efficient.

    Might be some good publicity.

    This car can do LMP2 lap times with no wings, no front spliter, dive planes and all the other miriad of aero widgets using just 350 hp. What ever anyone thinks of it, it does work.

    I'm quite impressed by it.

    I really didn't think they could make it goofier looking and then they go and surpass my wildest dreams.


    Whoever came up with he rough concept that the DW12 and the DeltaWing are the progeny of needs to be keel-hauled.

    I thought the open-air iteration of DW was a bit disproportionate, the beans were too small relative to the pork. Problem solved.

    Default Delta vs Sebring

    Watched it blow sky high on the front straight then start burning comprehensively RIGHT infront of me at Turn 4. Didn't last 2 hours. Watched that thing on the front straight during qually from the observation area and it is NOT as fast as Audi (duh) or Muscle milk, Lola maybe held it's own with the others.
