Following the presentation of the new Toyota TS030 Hybrid, the Switzerland-based Green GT team has taken the wraps off its H2 prototype which will be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The team has specified a power output of 460 horsepower for the H2 and the objective is to run the car at the official test day (June 3) ahead of the 2012 Le Mans 24 Hours.

Progress is also being made on the Project 56 Deltawing, which was selected by the ACO as its 56th entry for this year’s Le Mans. Michelin has already delivered specially-designed 15-inch tyres for this futuristic car. The fronts are 10/58-15, which is a third of the width of the tyres that go on the Audi R18 TDI (36/71-18). The size of the Deltawing’s rear tyres is 31/62-15.

The Deltawing prototype will initially be tested in the wind tunnel before making its track debut. The name of the engine supplier has yet to be announced, but the chassis was designed AAR based on an AMR-One monocoque, with brakes provided by Performance Friction Brakes and the transmission designed by EMCO Gears.
