Dallara T08

The Dallara T08 was a racing car built by the Italian manufacturer Dallara for the Formula Renault 3.5 series, also called the World Series by Renault, and it was in use from 2008 to 2011. It was the second generation of car for that series and was introduced at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours. It was the first car at this level of European motorsport with flex-fuel technology, able to run on premium unleaded petrol or E85 bioethanol, and its Renault V6, prepared by the French company Solution F, was raised from 425 to 500 horsepower. It had a new carbon bodyshell and revised front wing, while the gearbox, rear suspension and carbon brakes stayed the same to control costs. Its carbon tub was carried over to its successor, the Dallara T12.
