2005 I2B Concept Project Raven Le Mans Prototype



The first I2B Project is called Raven. In basics, it was designed to be a LeMans prototype for a European super car manufacturer. The conception was classic - two wheel drive with a longitudinal middle engine. The profile of the car was designed especially to has the lowest as possible center of gravity and the lowest air resistance. To clear the design our first step was to build a clay model of the car in 1:10 scale. Some basic calculation for air resistance were made on Fluent. The first conception did not have enough down force so we decided to put a rear wing which at low speed would lay on the back end of the car.


Main dimensions and characteristics:
  •          Length  4600 mm
  •          Width  2010 mm
  •          Height  1100 mm
  •          Wheelbase  2600 mm
  •          Ground Clearance  70 mm
  •          Engine - V10 Turbo charged with about 500HP
  •          Weight no more than 1200 Kg


The Raven should had been on LeMans at 2006 but because of the small amount of investments into this project it is still on the drawing board waiting for better times to come.
