The revolutionary Deltawing car is powered by a Mazda engine, now that Nissan has withdrawn from the project.
The Deltawing project, headed by Dan Gurney, team Highcroft and Don Panoz, became reality last season, when the car made its racing debuts at Le Mans 24 Hours. This season, the Deltawing will run in the American Le Mans Series, in a class of its own.
But Nissan wanted out of the project, so the people behind the DeltaWing switched to a Mazda MZR engine, developed by Elan Technologie.
Mazda, however, will solely act as an engine supplier, not as a partner like Nissan used to.
