The Dallara Indy Racing 28 (IR28) has officially been unveiled, and the series is calling it the start of “an exciting new era.” Replacing the legendary DW12 after the 2027 season, the IR28 is more than a new look – it is a complete rethink of IndyCar performance, safety and racing. Initial testing begins this week, with real prototypes set to hit the track as IndyCar moves from renderings to reality. Chevrolet says the new car will deliver the “performance, sound and excitement IndyCar fans expect,” while Honda believes the lighter chassis and more powerful hybrid system will help “usher IndyCar into a new era.” The IR28 is not just the next IndyCar — it is the clearest signal yet that the series is preparing for a faster, louder and more spectacular future.
