On the aerodynamic topic the car was developed in the Williams’ wind tunnel in Great Britain. Chassis and bodywork are totally designed by Isotta Fraschini and
produced by ARS Technologies, a leading Italian company in composite materials sector.
Other key components are relized by important project-partners like Brembo (brakes), PWR (cooling system), Multimatic (suspension), XTrac (gearbox),
Williams (battery system), Pankl (transmission) and Bosch (electronics).'

Ladies and gentlemen, even with the different manufacturers involved what we have here is the example of an LMDh in build. While Isotta Faschini is the central point, all the others are involved in making the key components that IF assembles.
This is a perfect example of what we have seen, and should expect, from a number of new entrants. This is the cost effective way for manufacturers to entertain getting involved.
