Connaught Type D

The Connaught Type D is a series of prototype sports cars, designed, developed, and built by British manufacturer Connaught, between 2006 and 2007.

V10 Engine
The Type D had a unique 2.0-litre narrow-angle V10 engine with its cylinder banks set a 22.5 degrees. The narrow angle allows the engine to use a single cylinder head, much like Volkswagen's popular VR6 engines and Lancia's narrow-angle V4 engines.

The V10 was meant to be augmented by an electric motor hybrid system for additional torque and allow the Connaught Type-D GT to achieve high fuel economy.
