Facel Vega Le Mans 1960 Prototype
Although Jean Daninos believed that it was not necessary to compete to prove the quality of his cars, he recommended the study of a mid-engined Facel Vega to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1964 and 1965 following the problems that arose during the launch of the Facellia.
He asked the design office to see how to build a vehicle equipped with a Chrysler V8 and specially developed for the 24 Hours. Chrysler agreed to provide five 6.4L engines with a power of 425 hp at 6200 rpm. A transaxle was designed by Valério Colloti in Italy and the prototype was delivered to Facel.
This car was equipped with wheels and disc brakes specially designed by Dunlop for Facel. These assemblies were delivered to Facel. The speed of the car was estimated at 330 km/h.
The prototype, which was 80% complete, was dismantled after production ceased. The engines, gearboxes and other components were returned to the suppliers.
Paulo Antunes, a famous Facel Vega French specialist, have decided to (re)built this mythic car and it should be done in 2025.
