Here's a picture of it.

As those of us from the North East would say, "That's wicked cool!"

Way wicked cool. Automotive beauty. This design should allow for pretty good maneuverability at high speeds. Would love to watch these race at 240 mph - screaming engines, weaving cars, smoking tires...awesome!

If the race series folks want to increase fan interest, why don't they go back to what built their base: (1) Take the “ground effects” and aerodynamic crap off the cars and let it become engines and drivers deciding a race. (2) Stop changing the rules constantly so that one or two team are guaranteed to win. This is especially true for nascar

Pretty stealthy looking. Do you suppose they could add a pair of internal weapons bays to hold a few sidewinders? Could be pretty helpful in Indy Races and even better in a NASCAR event.

One problem: it’s not open-wheeled.

I’m still disappointed that NASCAR standardized their cars. Has Indy done it also?

I’m thinking great for the straights, not so good in the twisty-turny stuff.

Looks pretty cool, but I don’t know, I’m just not feeling it for IndyCar. They should run an open series, like F1 used to be, for cars like these. I’d watch that.

It must be a retro style,...I notice all those aerodynamic features in the body style they took from the aircraft industry just like in the 50s, big fins, air scoops like a jet air intake, even that phony cockpit,...like its really gonna go faster.....huh?
