Had to google that up to see what iteration the DP09 was and how it related to the DP01.

They still look and sound better than either F1 or Indycar at the moment.

Wiki:

The Panoz DP09 (commonly known as the Superleague DP09) was the sole spec open-wheel race car used in the Superleague Formula series. It was produced by Élan Motorsport Technologies at Braselton, Georgia, in the United States. The DP09 was based on the 2007 Panoz DP01 Champ Cars, while in 2009 the cars were updated to become the DP09B. Since the series' closure midway through 2011, DP09Bs have seen limited use in the BOSS GP Series.

Menard Competition Technologies V12? That was a thing I'd never heard of.

Meynard Competition Technologies (https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-2010/108/meynard-competition-technologies)

I’m pretty sure this is the same but with incorrect spelling.

I don't mind the airboxes but the winglets look dated. They sound good. Wish Roger would find a way to incorporate them into Indycar...
