Rondeau M379 '88
Powered by Ford Cosworth DFV V8/90° 4v DOHC 2993 cc N/A
Rondeau M379 C #006
Used as a stressed member was the Formula 1 sourced Cosworth DFV V8 engine, which in the back of the Inalteras had proven remarkably reliable. In endurance trim, it now produced in excess of 450 bhp. The suspension was also wholly conventional with double wishbones at the front and a rear end consisting of parallel links and twin trailing arms. A Hewland five-speed gearbox and Lockheed disc brakes completed the mechanical package. The car was clothed in a fibreglass body designed with help from French company 'Bureau de Design Ovale'. Created exclusively for Le Mans, it was very slippery and featured no rear wing, just two fins for high speed stability. Compared to the Inaltera, the biggest changes were a longer tail and partly covered rear wheels.
