The NTT IndyCar Series announced the unveiling of a new car model that will debut in the 2028 season. This new vehicle will be 100 pounds lighter than its predecessor, with specific components, including the hybrid system and gearbox, also seeing reductions in weight. Enhancements like a more stable front wing for superspeedways aim to improve racing performance. With no new car introduced since 2012, this change has been highly anticipated by teams and drivers. The series will shift to single-source dampers to streamline design elements.
