Lamborghini is going to Le Mans next year - this is the striking WEC contender it will turn up in 😍
For a company that once prided itself on not being overly bothered with the faff of motoring racing, the new SC63 hybrid racing prototype is the net result of a dazzling u-turn. Lamborghini only inaugurated its motorsport division, Squadra Corse, a decade ago. In that time, the manufacturer has done a good job of making its presence felt in the production car-based GT category.
“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.”
Most notably, that much is evident in the bodywork. Lamborghini has partnered with Ligier, one of the firms responsible for providing a pre-approved monocoque - but where the styling was not preordained by either regulations or the wind tunnel, it is said to be the work of the Centro Stile design department, and features brand styling cues throughout to make it ‘immediately recognisable as Lamborghini’.
Complemented by familiar livery - the Verde Mantis green and Italian Tricolore recognisable from the Huracan GT3 - the SC63 definitely looks the part. But of likely greater interest is the all-new 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 which Lamborghini is said to have developed specifically for its racing programme.
