Don Panoz is determined to power on with his DeltaWing project, now without the backing of Nissan. Evidence of Panoz’s commitment has just been revealed in Sebring with the first image of a new DeltaWing Coupé being published.
The DeltaWing Coupé is being prepared for 2014 LMP1 racing and will use a new engine built by Elan Motorsports Technologies. Elan will also supply a 2.0 turbocharged motor for the open top DeltaWing, which makes its debut in the LMP1 category at Sebring this weekend.
Speaking about the new coupé Panoz said, “As the season goes forward, and we incorporate the new tub and new chassis with the new 2014 rules, and new engine, we think as with any new program that it will continue to improve in performance.
“As we get close to the latter part of the season, we’ll be capable of getting onto the podium.â€
