Setting a lap record on the Nurburgring has always been a point of pride for sports car manufacturers - and a great way to advertise the capabilities of their new vehicles, too. Meet the latest challenger: Delage D12.
The newly appointed CEO of the company has just confirmed that the hypercar will hit the world's most formidable racetrack in late 2022 or early 2023, aiming to set the ultimate lap record among street-legal production cars.
To that end, the D12 packs a naturally aspirated V12 and a single electric motor joining their efforts for over 1,100 horsepower. However, the main selling point of the car is not the powertrain, but the aerodynamics, which draws inspiration from Formula One racecars.
