B08/60 specifications  

June 2007:
Lola engineers have been busy working on the next generation of LMP's, the fabled coupe version, which is scheduled to hit the track this autumn. Lola's senior aerodynamicist Phil Tiller explained the latest developments: "The artist's impression we released last year was just that, but we've been doing a lot of work on the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), and we've got a short list of shapes for the closed car, which we've already put in the wind tunnel. We'll soon narrow it down to a final shape in the wind tunnel."
Tiller also commented on the complications of a closed LMP design, particularly remarking on the detail needed to make sure the wipers work effectively, for example.: "We've got some ‘hard points' for the roll cage to fit into (from the ACO), but we're keeping our options open, and if they specify any change, we can go that way."
along with Phil Tiller, Dr John Davis, Gene Varnier and Peter Ellery.are involved in the project.
Lola are scheduled to debut the Coupe this autumn and already have interested parties in the project.
