Lamborghini SC63 LMDh Hypercar - CLOSER LOOK

[@litreocola6447]

I just like to see variety in this championship and it’s great to see so many unique solutions across the grid, even if some solutions are flattered by BoP. In a BoP championship tho, at least what I hope happens, is that since only apparently the top 20% of lap times are considered in the algorithm, better designs are easier to drive and thus can last longer with their tires. Tbf, pure efficiency is also not the aim of the championship either as drag and downforce are quantified, so less efficient designs are almost required as a compromise.

[@gafrers]

Quality analysis as always. Another great LMDh car

[@F14foreverF14]

Lambo should have used their legendary V-12

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

It's the V8 they plan to use in their future V10 replacement.

[@nikomoin7604]

Might be a bit heavy and long for a race car

[@CannedMarmalade]

Packing it inside the body would be the biggest issue if they tried

[@jaysuneakle]

Only in our dreams!

[@JohnnyDrizzle]

​@@nikomoin7604 Aston Martin will use a V12 next year

You should do aero/tech comparasion of old and new Peugeot 9x8.

From the rear it is probably the most stylish prototype among both LMH and LMDh cars: the rear lights area from the top view actually is V'd (the central part sits further from the rear axle whilst at the edges the lights are a bit closer to it). Compare it with really any other car, aside Peugeot and a little bit for the Porsche, and they are instead cut with a straight line seen from the top, givibg those cars an unfinished look. Gorgeous car, and P7 at the Sebring 12h is definitely very good for them.

[@WinstonPinetorum]

I was at Sebring and the car looks ace but the engine note is not reminiscent of a Lamborghini. Although it still sounds different than the German LMDh engines.

[@CannedMarmalade]

At the very least it'll look good on track

[@LICENFIREFEAR]

I really like what lamborghini did with the car

[@GordonMoat]

Seems like cooling issues could affect reliability, or at the very least a loss of power as heat accumulates.

[@Nexuz2]

Can we buy it?

[@anhquanleba833]

i have always wonder why the wheelbase for these prototypes is so longgggg. Like aint it more agile with a short one?

[@supermantrly]

They are just less tall. They are shorter than f1 thats why it looks like it is long

[@FeintMotion]

The cars are max'd out dimensionally, as in the body work "fills" the extent of the box the cars have to fit in. This is to give aero elements the largest surface area possible to do aero stuff. Then the wheels are pushed out to the corners of the car as much as possible. This reduces the amount of mass that has to be "swung" by the car's rotation about its centre of mass, reducing the energy needed to induce directional changes in yaw, making the car proportionally more agile the further to the corners the wheels are able to be positioned. This does have to be balanced with component packaging and floor volume/shape to maintain reliability and power/torque potential of the drivetrain and its ancillaries and aero efficiency of the bodywork, but you'll see this wheel positioning principle applied to prototypes as far back as 1980's Group C and 1970's Group 7 stuff

@@supermantrlyThey aren’t tall at all. They are half the height of GT3 cars which are already sportscars that are already lowered.

[@supermantrly]

@@cademckee7276 thats what im saying, they are less tall thats why they look so long

[@kashmir883]

the lambo entry seemed lazy to me, glad b sport confirmed it IS in fact lazy

[@rexthewolf3149]

All of the LMDH cars are lazy. That’s the entire point of the rules. Hybrid race cars without actually building a hybrid system and just using spec parts.

@@VarioFelce Your right, but this isn’t a bad thing. Sports car racing is getting more attention from manufacturers than it ever did before.
