Delage Is Back With An F1-Inspired Supercar That Packs Up To 1,100 HP : the new Delage D12. The model features an “ultramodern design” that draws inspiration from fighter jets and Formula 1. That’s clearly visible up front as the D12 has an F1-inspired nose with a carbon fiber splitter. The front wheels are also separated from the main body and there’s a transparent cover that provides a glimpse at the contractive suspension. The D12 is a two-seater where the driver and passenger sit in tandem. The company says the model will have carbon fiber seats and a unique steering wheel with “fighter jet-style joysticks.” We can also see an assortment of digital displays and Delage says there will also be a Focal audio system. There will be two versions of the D12, known as the GT and Club. Both will have a French-made, naturally aspirated 7.6-liter V12 engine that is backed up by an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine produces 990 hp (738 kW / 1,004 PS) and GT’s electric motor will add 110 hp (82 kW / 112 PS) to bring its combined output to 1,100 hp (820 kW / 1,115 PS). The Club, on the other hand, will use a lightweight 20 hp (15 kW / 20 PS) motor that “only assists with traffic driving, parking and reverse.” As a result, the D12 Club will have a lower output of 1,010 hp (753 kW / 1,024 PS). However, it will have a dry weight of 2,888 lbs (1,310 kg) which makes it 198 lbs (89.8 kg) lighter than the GT. Delage says the “The GT will accelerate faster, but the Club will be the fastest to lap any track.” The company also noted the D12 is “intended to beat the Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record.”
