Produced between 1954 and 1957, the D-Type was
designed to take on the world’s best racers at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Best
known for its easily recognizable and unique rear vertical fin, the D-Type
incorporated a variety of innovative features for its day, including a
monocoque construction and aero-efficient exterior shape.
The D-Type would go on to secure wins at Le Mans in
1955, 1956, and 1957. As for this modernized rendering, we see influences from
the XJR-12 and C-X75, plus that highly visible rear tail fin.
