The nose and sidepods feature similar cooling and venting structures as the B06/10, while a slightly larger nose is based on the 2007-spec designs offered by Lola. Phil Tiller was in charge of the B08/60's aerodynamics, and developed the narrow cockpit. Integrated in the cockpit design are a roof-mounted air intake for the engine. The shoulders of the cockpit are also designed in a stepped fashion.

During the 2008 LMS season the
Charouz Lola proved to be the fastest petrol car on the grid, although it still could not match the diesels. At 2008 Le Mans the B08/60 outqualified the No.1 Audi but a collision and subsequent repairs dropped them to the back. The spirited drive back to the front was
566:. The B08/60 was not designed with the Aston V12 engine in mind, so the standard Lola gearbox had to be replaced by a more compact X-trac 6 speed. The Lola Aston Martin gained further advantage from a regulation change that gives production-derived engines bigger air restrictors.

For 2010 Rebellion Racing ran 2 modified B08/60, dubbed the B10/60. The old Aston V12 was replaced by
Rebellion 5.5 L V10. At Le Mans, lap times were 8 seconds slower compared to Charouz 2 years earlier.

Silverstone later in the year Charouz finished as high as 2nd overall, behind an Audi. Charouz Racing finished 5th in the 2008 LMS championship.
