    Dan Gurney's Delta Wing 24 hrs of Le Mans car

    I'm digging it. Will be interesting seeing this thing actually perform on the race course.

    Just doesnt seem like it would be very stable in the turns with the narrow front end and wide back end. I would think it would do like the old 3 wheelers used to do. Looks killer though.

      Looks cool but not sure how it would handle. Obviously they wouldn't have spent all that money building it if they didn't think it would work though.

          X3 on the handling, but like you said I doubt the would spend that much and change a car that drastically if it wasn't going to be superior to the previous design

            I'm undecided. It looks interesting, to say the least, and I will hold reservations until I see it perform, but at first glance it looks dumb.

              Looks like the ambigously gay duo vehicle

                  Actually, i see the narrow front end being better. Someone mentioned a tricycle earlier. Exactly like that but w/o the jack knife effect and susequent toppling action.

                          Pretty much.

                          I know i'm stuck in the past

                          When I think of Le Mans I think of Phil Hill, et al. Gurney's car looks more like a LSR machine built for the salt... and if that's where it were headed love the hell out of it.

                            I wonder what people said when they first saw the original GT40 design.
