Lister Hybrid

JAG · 19 Jul 2005, 19:12 (Ref:1358761)

Anyone seen the sneek pics of the new Lister on DSC.

There isn't a full picture of the car but it does appear to have some kind of raised front wing set-up.

The unraced 1993 905 EVO III is probably the car that looks the most similar (from these pictures at least)

it was dissapointing that DSC was there and did not release a full-body shot... the front of the car does look to have a totally different look about it, with some sort of raised front incorporating the already unique design elements of the Lister LMP.

what was interesting to me was that the car had air induction inlets for the engine both above the driver as on the original car, and in the now common area for hybrids in the "passenger" headrest. i wonder whats going on there... (maybe the bodywork for the driver headrest wasn't completed at the time of the pictures?)

That would be bacause Lister didn't want one released just yet. Plenty of clues as to the overall look though

that's what I figured... thanks a bunch to DSC and Lister for letting us get a sneak-peak either way.

after looking further at the pictures we have, there are further clues I have noticed that do indeed give a general idea of what the car will look like. one such clue is the vertical strake down the center of the front of the car (to what i'm guessing is a raised nose surrounding the foot-box), as well as the extension of the bodywork to the sides of the rear pontoon fenders.

very interesting approach from Lister; who would have thought they could have created a car even more radical than the original Lister LMP??

Can't see anything here. DSC is showing news only to July 3...hardware issues?

Glitch Mike - should be back up in a few hours

pictures, links, anything?

Off topic, this is first time I have seen an actual photo of the 1993 905 EVO III. JAG do you know of were I can view other images of these car on the net.

And why was it never raced?

Does that mean the class of racing went bust before they got a chance to run it?

panoz.lmp1 · 20 Jul 2005, 12:04 (Ref:1359193)

In 1993 was no Group C World Championship and at Le Mans Peugot runs the 905B

IIRC this car was tested in 92, or was this an updated EVO2 that tested in 92?

MulsanneMike · 20 Jul 2005, 16:43 (Ref:1359425)

The Evo 2, the car in the image above (it wasn't called the EVO III) was tested at Magny Cours in '92 (check the entry list for Magny that year, the cars are listed as spares--beleive they practiced but they didn't race). So very little is actually known about the car, it is quite a shame as it is very interesting.

On a side note, why don't you see faired-in wheels any more? Have they been banned? they used to be quite common on Group C cars.
