Just ahead of the unveiling highly anticipated Delta Wing project at the Chicago Motor Show, Italian race car manufacturer Dallara has released its proposals for the next generation IndyCar Series chassis, which will race from 2012.

Dallara also confirmed that if its proposals are successful, then it would build the cars in America as requested by the series.

Moreover, the Italian manufacturer added that its new car would cost around 55% of the current chassis price, and that teams would be able to carry a reduced number of spares due to the cars not requiring so many specific parts for different types of track.

It also predicts that the new car would allow for more exciting racing due to an aero-package that would be less sensitive in traffic.
