The new Lamborghini LMDh is set to compete in the Hypercar class of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship.
Automobili Lamborghini will unveil its new LMDh racing prototype at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new car is set to compete in the Hypercar class of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in the GTP class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Endurance Cup.
We know that the car will feature a hybrid power unit consisting of an internal combustion engine and an Energy Recovery System with a combined output of 671 bhp. Alongside the single-source ERS kit, Lamborghini has elected to use an 8-cylinder, 90-degree V-angle twin-turbo internal combustion engine developed by the company’s motorsport department, Squadra Corse.
Major ERS components included in the LMDh homologated standard Kit cover several areas, with the electric motor (MGU) developed by Bosch Motorsport. Power Management and energy storage are supplied by Williams Advanced Engineering while the seven-speed P1359 hybrid gearbox is developed by Xtrac. It boasts a top speed of 340 kmph and weighs 1030kg without fuel and driver as per the regulations.
As for the car’s dimensions, it will have a maximum width of 2,000 mm and a length of 5,100mm. The wheelbase will be 3,148mm with an engine weight of 180kg minimum. The base car (spine) is engineered together with Ligier Automotive and carbon fiber elements are produced in Italy by HP Composites, Squadra Corse's long-term partner in GT3 and Super Trofeo platforms.
The decision to team up with Ligier Automotive enables Lamborghini Squadra Corse to enter the top class of endurance racing with an established chassis provider. Additionally, the competent and flexible structure of Ligier Automotive (with specific touch points between Squadra Corse) made the partnership a logical choice for the LMDh project.
