Romain Grosjean will drive one of the hybrid racers, both of which will be called SC63 in honor of the brand’s founding 60 years ago.
will build its own engine for the cars, an all-new 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that Lambo says has been developed specifically for these racing programs. Power in the series is limited to 671 hp for all participants, which Lamborghini says allows it to concentrate on aerodynamics and grip. The turbos will be on the underside of the cylinder banks for better cooling and serviceability.
“This solution, combined with a specifically developed aero balance and attitude, has been identified as the most effective to achieve the best tire grip, and perfect balance, drivability, and consistent speed both over a single lap but also across long distance races,” Lamborghini said in the announcement.
Class rules also specify standard gearboxes, batteries, and motor generators for the hybrid components to help contain costs for the teams.“As the first manufacturer to select Ligier on an LMDh project, there was freedom for Lamborghini to specify its requirements, including the development of the pushrod front suspension design, overall weight distribution and ease of service for critical parts of the car,” Lamborghini said.
