The universal kit, which will be fitted to the current Dallara IR-12 control Indycar chassis, is the result of a collaboration between Dallara, Indycar and stylist Chris Beatty.

The goal was to ‘make the car resemble past Indy car favorites with a sleek, bold look while incorporating the latest technological and safety advancements’.

"This has been a collaborative effort from multiple parties, including input from our paddock and fans," said Jay Frye, Indycar president of competition and operations.

“Dallara has been a great partner, and we couldn't be more enthused with the look, the safety enhancements and the performance objectives of the 2018 car."

Dallara has been the control chassis supplier to Indycar since 2008.
