Designed jointly by chassis expert Don Foster and aerodynamicist Max Sardou, the M482 was the first Rondeau to have been conceived specifically as a Group C car. It represented the company’s first foray into both monocoque design and ground effect technology. Its twin-Venturi tunnels—incorporating lessons learned from Sardou’s earlier Lola T600 design—necessitated an outlandish “triple sponson” rear bodywork section. A long-stroke 3.9-litre Ford DFV engine operated as a stressed unit in conjunction with a five-speed Hewland VG5 gearbox, while double-wishbone suspension was employed conventionally at the front and via rocker arms at the rear.
