Conforming to the latest FIA Le Mans Prototype Regulations this "cost capped‟, coupe car is poised to take LMP2 racing to a new level of sophistication and performance.
The initial design phase is well under way and on schedule to have a car testing by the later part of 2015, ready for racing in 2016. Designed to accept a range of different engines and with an LMP1 compliant monocoque, this car will cater for all Zytek customers requirements.
Utilising all the knowledge and experience gained from the highly successful Zytek Z11SN LMP2 the Zytek Coupe will build on all the best characteristics, which include a high level of downforce relative to competition, very low ride height sensitivity, good tyre wear characteristics - due to suspension geometry, maximised cockpit ergonomics, low fuel level performance, optimised Le Mans aero kit and enhanced safety features.
