DeltaWing

The season opener of the 2016 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, is currently underway. Unfortunately for the DeltaWing from Panoz DeltaWing Racing, the race was over within a few hours due to a crash. ALSO SEE: The Beginner's Guide To The Rolex 24 At Daytona: Mega...

DeltaWing’s plans for a road car based on its radical arrow-shape design has taken a step in the right direction with the unveiling of a concept. It’s been more than a year since the people at DeltaWing confirmed their intention to produce a road-going DeltaWing car, and in the lead up...

It was at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show that we first saw the radically-designed DeltaWing concept, which was unveiled by chief designer Ben Bowlby as a potential replacement for the chassis used in IndyCar. Promising incredible fuel economy, the DeltaWing racer found a natural home in endurance...

The DeltaWing’s unusual shape provoked comparisons to the Batmobile when it first hit the motorsports scene. While its on-track record was plagued by bad luck, the company behind the car is taking it to the next level: a street-legal, four-passenger version. This is it. MUST SEE: Google...

Nissan’s radical BladeGlider electric sports car has led to the Japanese automaker being sued over the concept’s design. The company responsible for the original DeltaWing race car, DeltaWing Project 56, which is led by motorsport icon Don Panoz and formerly linked with Nissan, has...

As we confirmed in yesterday’s United SportsCar Racing announcement, the DeltaWing racer has a guaranteed future in North American sports car racing. Eligible for competition in the Prototype class, the current open-cockpit DeltaWing (now in a bright chrome livery) will make its 2013 ALMS...

The DeltaWing (formerly partnered with Nissan) race car has seen a surprising amount of success and adversity in its very short run at professional racing. This season, it's wearing a much more easily visible livery of shiny silver. Hopefully it will be a bit more successful in avoiding the scrapes...

Though the radically-styled DeltaWing racer wasn’t developed by automaker Nissan, Nissan is the company that most fans associate with the futuristic race car. After all, the DeltaWing has usually sported the Nissan logo on its bodywork, and Nissan provided the 1.6-liter engine (tuned by...

Perhaps no other race car in recent years has captured the imagination of fans in quite the same way as the Nissan DeltaWing. Perhaps it’s the car’s futuristic shape, or perhaps it’s the fact that the car is considerably down on horsepower compared to others in the field, yet it...

This isn't the first time a race car has been crashed hard and fixed overnight. It's not even the most dramatic repair job we've seen done under the same conditions. But it's still damned impressive. Here, you'll see the Nissan DeltaWing/Highcroft Racing team strip down and rebuild most of the rear...

Ill-fated is perhaps the best descriptor for the Nissan DeltaWing project at this point. First it failed to beat out the new Dallara offering as the next spec chassis for IndyCar, then it was taken out just hours into the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and now it has ended up on its lid after what appears to...

The fan-favorite Nissan DeltaWing racer will make its North American competition debut at the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, scheduled for Saturday, October 20. While many thought this would be a one-time running of the car, which last turned a wheel in anger at this...

Calling the Nissan DeltaWing racer a fan favorite is a bit of an understatement, so Nissan has announced the car’s return to competition at the American Le Mans Series’ season finale, the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta on October 17-20. We last saw the DeltaWing driven on track at the 24...

The futuristic DeltaWing racer, originally proposed as a new chassis for Indy Car, last saw action at this year’s running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A fan favorite (because everyone loves an underdog), the Nissan-powered DeltaWing was retired by a crash early in the event. Despite an epic...

When it comes to endurance racing, the emotional strength and will to succeed is often the edge teams need to come out on top. Satoshi Motoyama, one of three drivers that piloted the Nissan DeltaWing in last weekend’s 80th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has shown us just how powerful...

Nissan is the latest to join Ben Bowlby’s DeltaWing project, announcing today that it will be competing at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans together with the project’s other partners, one of which is racing legend Dan Gurney. Originally designed for IndyCar, the DeltaWing has been...

The Indy Racing League's Dallara spec chassis is growing long in the tooth and tired in appearance, but it's due to be replaced by an all-new car unveiled today. Designed by a group of Indy execs, the Delta Wing's production will be outsourced to existing industry builders to produce a car that's...
