B05/40 - 42 - MG EX264 - B07/40 specifications

The new Lola LMP2 design is built to the FIA's revised aerodynamic regulations and features the newly-mandated double rollover hoop. The LMP2’s new carbon composite chassis will be submitted to the full set of revised crash and structural tests laid down by the FIA requiring that LMP2 cars meet the same standards as LMP1 cars.

In an innovative move, the new package will also allow owners of Lola's current LMP675 models to update to full LMP2 specification by purchasing an update kit made up of the new monocoque and bodywork. Not surprisingly, Lola will take the experience and expertise of it’s extensive CFD and aerodynamic capabilities to maximise the aero efficiency in respect of the new regulations that will see the removal of the flat undersides to the cars.
Lola engineers will be utilising the new monocoque as the basis for an LMP1 model in the future. The chassis could also be made available to other manufacturers as a foundation for their own sportscar projects in either of the new categories.
