Nissan’s futuristic racing concept, the DeltaWing, is certainly in a class of one in Le Mans…except, it can’t win. With a telltale “0” displayed on each side, the DeltaWing is not a competitive exhibition racecar in the luxury racing event.

If you haven’t heard of Tramontana, they are an independent European luxury car maker in Costa Brava, Spain, who manufacture the exclusive Tramontana exotic car. The Tramontana is a mesh of a Formula 1 racecar and a fighter jet, handmade with the precision of a surgeon.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged V12 engine kicking out 720 horses, the entirety of the exotic car is comprised of only the finest luxury materials (think carbon fiber). This would make an exhilarating exotic rental car, especially on the track! The entire bodywork is carbon fiber, making it a lightweight, lustworthy speed-demon…the only thing missing are wings! The luxurious carbon fiber drips into the cabin, total eye candy.
