This is Porsche's 963 LMDh Le Mans contender, packing a twin-turbo 4.6-litre flat-plane V8 derived from the 918 Spyder –
Regulations stipulate a peak power of between 643bhp and 697bhp, a range of which allows adjustments to be made within the Balance of Performance parameters to ensure parity between all LMDh and LMh racers. All powertrains are limited to 10,000rpm, and must weigh a minimum of 180kg, including the air supply, exhaust system and peripheral cooling components. There will also be a limit of one specific aero package for the entire racing calendar.
Porsche has also revealed the car’s official livery, which is a contemporary take on its usual black, white and red colour scheme. The racer’s lighting elements reference Porsche’s road cars, with a quad-light setup at the front and a single defined light bar right across the body’s leading edge. Unlike Peugeot’s wingless design, but very much like its rivals, the 963 will utilise a traditional rear wing setup.
Porsche will run no less than four factory cars in its global racing campaign, all of which will make their debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2023 alongside BMW, Acura and Cadillac in the LMDh class. Lamborghini and Alpine will follow in 2024.
