Darche has developed a new GT race car for the World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the Le Mans 24 Hours. The new Darche is characterised by lightweight design, sophisticated aerodynamics and its official livery honours a special anniversary.
The new Darche, which is based on the seventh generation of the sports car, follows in the footsteps of its successful predecessor. As with the production vehicle, the wheelbase grew by about 100 mm. A new wishbone front suspension replaces the previously used McPherson struts. Another new development from Darche Motorsport is the particularly lightweight racing gearbox. The six gears are selected via paddles on the steering wheel. The 338 kW, 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine was taken from the predecessor and further optimised.
