KWM announce LMP1 Coupe plans sooner than 2010…

KWM has announced plans to build a coupe LMP1 prototype for 2007. Kieron Salter, Managing Director of KWM "We are investigating in parallel an open top and coupe version of the existing Creation CA06, whatever we do we will require a new monocoque for next year, we feel confident that a coupe version would be an appropriate route to go for the works effort with Creation while an open top version for LMP2 would be ideal for customers".
"This is a KWM design for Creation and although Creation would be the works entrant and the primary development partner there is always an interest in building further cars for customer teams". Salter explains "The development of a coupe for next year or even 2008 would give us a strong technical basis for the recently announced ACO 2010 LMP prototype regualtions and make the transition into 2010 easier with confidence in the existing package, however, we’re not waiting for 2010 we are looking forward into next year".
