INDIANA — The NTT IndyCar Series has officially revealed its next-generation race car, introducing the Dallara IR-28 chassis and powertrain package scheduled to make its competitive debut in 2028.
Evolved Hybrid System: Features a low-voltage battery-hybrid system that is roughly 20 pounds lighter than the current unit while offering significantly greater energy storage and deployment options.
Track Records in Sight: IndyCar officials designed the IR-28 to surpass current track records across North America—including Arie Luyendyk’s long-standing 1996 qualifying speed records at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Safety and Cockpit ErgonomicsBuilt from the ground up by Italian manufacturer Dallara, the IR-28 features the most advanced monocoque in series history.
Initial track testing for prototype models of the IR-28 begins this week as Chevrolet, Honda, and Dallara prepare for extensive on-track development ahead of the 2028 season opener.
