Le Mans starts on Saturday, and Nissan have revealed their new Batman-inspired car to compete at the 24-hour-long driving event.
The Nissan DeltaWing spearheads the Japanese manufacturer’s dominant entry to the 80th running, featuring a sleek black design which bares similarities to the Batmobile which appeared in the Tim Burton-directed Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).
It features half the weight, half the horsepower and half the aerodynamic drag of a conventional Le Mans machines, meaning it uses half the fuel of its competitors.
The car is so unique that it will compete in the race outside the regulations of Le Mans, wearing the number ‘0’ and running from “Garage 56”, reserved exclusively for experimental racers.
