The Delage D12 is a hybrid sports car produced by the French automobile manufacturer Delage from 2020.

History

The French car manufacturer Delage ceased operations in 1953. In 2019, the entrepreneur Laurent Tapie signed an agreement with the owners of the brand “Les Amis of Delage "in order to relaunch the Delage brand and produce the hybrid supercar D12[1] in the Paris region from 2020.

The D12 is prefigured by the concept car Delage D12 Concept presented on 10 December 2019 in Los Angeles in United States.[2]

Characteristics

The hybrid supercar is powered by a normally aspirated V12 engine of 900 hp (670 kW) from Australia, coupled to an electric motor of 330 hp (250 kW), for a cumulative power of 1,230 hp (920 kW).[3]
