Race cars are Motorsport.com's specialty, but that's not stopping us from getting excited every now and then about a new track-only machine. Porsche's LMDh prototype certainly fits that bill and we've been keeping an eye on the electrified hypercar from day one. It was originally teased in December 2020 and now the time has come to see it out in the open. The brief video shows the hybrid beast stretching its legs on the Weissach test track.
Set to join the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2023, the unnamed hybrid race car will be operated by Team Penske. Much like Audi's and Lamborghini's LMDh track weapons, it’s going to use an LMP2-based chassis provided by Multimatic. The short clip allows us to hear the combustion engine, which will work with an electric motor to deliver a combined output of 670 horsepower (500 kilowatts).
