Lamborghini’s highly anticipated LMDH prototype has finally been revealed. Here’s all you need to know about the Lamborghini SC63 LMDH racing prototype.

At the heart of the LMDH racer is a 3,8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with “cold V” turbocharging that sees two turbo units placed outside of the engine’s vee, rather than inside as featured in a “hot V” setup. Cooling and ease of maintenance aside, the aim is to lower the car’s centre of gravity.
With combined power output from the engine and hybrid system limited to 500 kW, additionally drivetrain hardware includes a total of eight radiators and two intercoolers.
“The opportunity to compete in some of the biggest endurance races in the world with a hybrid prototype fits with our vision for the future of high-performance mobility, as demonstrated for road-legal cars with the launch of the Revuelto. The SC63 LMDh is the step into the highest echelons and into the future of motorsports for our Squadra Corse,” stated Winlkelmann.
Aside from a scheduled entry in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, the Italian firm has partnered with Italian racing team Iron Lynx to participate in the IMSA North American Championship. Race-prepped, the stunning LMDH prototype will be adorned with a Verde Mantis green colour scheme complemented by black “Necro Noctis” tips along the cabin, front, bonnet and rear wing.
