Confirmation of HPD's commitment for 2014:
  • LMP1 2014 chassis designed by Wirth Research
  • small direct injected turbocharged V6 derived from Indycar engine
  • hybrid system provided by Magneti Marelli

Interestingly HPD leaves a lot of choice to the customers of their products:

“The rules say that if you're a privateer, you can add on the level of energy recovery that suits your needs, so we've chosen to let our customers go with whatever they want,” he continues. “Our vision is that we'll offer a variety of options, from no-energy recovery up to the full eight Megajoule maximum monster level. And that really becomes kind of the testbed for us to get more deep firsthand knowledge about energy recovery applications in motorsports.
