Downforce in a very different way and a “blown diffuser on steroids” – meet the DGR-Lola, a vision from 2016-17 Formula E champion Lucas di Grassi that he wants to become reality
Lucas di Grassi has been working on a secret project for the past year, aiming to create an electric racing car quicker than a Formula 1 car and more spectacular than the McMurty Spéirling.
Driven by his curiosity and desire to innovate, di Grassi, together with his Formula E employer Lola and industry suppliers, wants to push the boundaries of electric single-seater racing with a new design philosophy.
The DGR-Lola concept focuses on maximizing performance and reducing aerodynamic drag to increase efficiency and range, while maintaining a driver-centered approach and avoiding overly complex technologies.
Di Grassi’s project challenges traditional engineering thinking and aims to redefine how racing cars are conceived and created, setting a new standard for electric racing vehicles.”
