The California-based manufacturer Swift Engineering has released its own version of the IndyCar of the future, following prior proposal from Dallara and Lola.

Swift Engineering, who is already involved in motorsports with the Atlantic Series, Formula Nippon and the NASCAR Truck Series has come public with its bid to design and build the next generation race car chassis for the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series.

Key business alliances have been reached between Swift and Cray Inc. (The Supercomputer Company), Indianapolis‐based Mark One Composites, Inc. and Cruden America, world leaders in motion racing simulators.

Swift is currently developing a detailed value proposition with finalized performance data and conceptual designs for IndyCar's consideration.

"Our goal is no less than for the 100th anniversary of the Indy 500 to be run exclusively with Swift chassis. We are very proud to release some of our conceptual designs today that were developed specifically for the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series program," said Casper Van der Schoot, Swift's director of motorsports.
