Lola unveils proposed 2010 LMP1 prototype

© Lola Cars International Ltd

Lola Cars International Ltd. has unveiled a rendering of their proposed Lola LMP1 prototype following the announcement of the new Le Mans rules from 2010 for the LMP1 class. The ACO decided that from 2010 on the LMP1 cars have to be closed cars. Lola reacted as one of the first manufacturers to display their (proposed) model.
"We have been evaluating the coupe version of our prototype for some time now and are confident that it will be a very interesting project for existing customers and potential customers," said Julian Cooper, Head of Engineering at Lola Cars.

"We are spending more windtunnel time in the near future and pushing ahead with developments as we have already had a few enquiries relating to a closed top version of the existing LMP1. It is obvious that the ACO are aiming to attract more manufacturers to Le Mans in the future and we will be ready to offer a package that has been exhaustively tested and developed."
