Where did Delta Wing come from? A design brief that called for gimmicky cars.
If there was series that called for wingless cars would the DW concept succeed?The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Bowlby was in London early last week for Nissan's announcement that its turbocharged 1.6 liter direct injection four-cylinder engine will power the Delta Wing. The engine makes 300 bhp at 7,500 rpm and the 1,000 pound Delta Wing (475 kilograms dry and 575 kilos with driver and fuel) is designed to produce competitive lap times using half the fuel of a conventional car. Congratulations to NIssan for taking the plunge with the Delta Wing and shame on the domestic manufacturers for shying away from it.
"This car was designed for what the auto industry stated they wanted," Bolwby said.racing-reference.info/showblog?id=1785

The demonstration run at Sebring was just that - a demonstration. Issues with the gearbox (among other things) kept speed and laps down. RML will take the car from AAR and continue development in the UK.
