Lamborghini SC24 LMDh (Hypercar)

The Lamborghini SC24 LMDh is the Italian brand's factory prototype for the top tier of endurance racing, built to compete in the FIA WEC Hypercar class and the IMSA GTP category. It combines Lamborghini's signature drama with the shared LMDh formula, using an ORECA-derived chassis, hybrid rear-axle system, and a screaming V8 engine developed for long-distance racing.

Key Specs (BoP-dependent, typical sim values)

  • Powertrain: 3.8L twin-turbocharged 90° V8 (mid-mounted, longitudinal) + standardized rear-axle hybrid system (Bosch MGU, ~50 kW / 68 hp electric boost)

  • Total Output: ~671 hp (500 kW) combined

  • Redline: ~9,000–9,500 rpm

  • Transmission: Xtrac 7-speed sequential

  • Weight: 1,030 kg minimum

  • Dimensions: ~5,088 mm long × 1,992 mm wide × 1,055 mm tall | Wheelbase 3,148 mm

  • Tires: Michelin slicks on OZ forged wheels (29/71-18 front, 34/71-18 rear)

  • Brakes: Carbon-carbon discs with 6-piston calipers

  • Layout: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive hybrid

In the Simulator Feel

The SC24 LMDh is a sharp, planted, and highly capable Hypercar that blends prototype pace with a very Lamborghini sense of theatre. It has excellent aero stability and quick direction changes, but like any modern endurance prototype, it still asks for smooth inputs and disciplined weight transfer management. The hybrid system helps mask some low-speed weakness, giving the car strong punch off corners and making it especially effective when driven cleanly over a stint.

Engine & Sound: The twin-turbo V8 delivers a deeper, more aggressive tone than some of the higher-strung rivals, with a muscular mid-range and a hard-edged top-end as it climbs toward redline. Turbo spool, wastegate chatter, and hybrid torque fill give it a layered character that feels both modern and unmistakably Lamborghini.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Confident front bite and strong aero platform through fast corners. It can push into understeer if you overdrive entry speed.

  • Traction: Excellent rear grip on exits, with hybrid assist making throttle application feel powerful but controllable.

  • Braking: Massive carbon brake performance with stable platform behavior under heavy deceleration.

  • Top Speed: Highly competitive on long straights, with enough hybrid deployment to stay in the fight depending on BoP and track layout.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it like a precision weapon. Let the aero do the work, avoid abrupt steering corrections, and get back to throttle early but progressively. It rewards committed laps at fast circuits like Spa, Sebring, and Le Mans, where stability and efficiency matter as much as outright speed.

Livery & Aesthetics: The SC24 LMDh looks every bit like a modern Lamborghini prototype — low, angular, and packed with sharp surfaces and aggressive aero detail. Expect dramatic Y-shaped design cues, bold factory colors, and a cockpit that feels purpose-built yet unmistakably exotic.

Whether you're hot lapping, racing endurance stints, or mixing it up in multi-class traffic, the Lamborghini SC24 LMDh delivers a potent combination of speed, stability, and unmistakable Italian style — a proper modern Hypercar with real presence.
