Last year, Porsche spread a story about the LMDh prototype that will be developed in collaboration with Multimatic. After testing the LMDh prototype that Porsche completed on its own test track, the team of engineers, technicians and drivers has now moved to Spain, to the F1 track of Catalunya near Barcelona.

In the photos we can see a large rear wing with LED lights on the sides, an LED light bar, large wheel arches and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Drivers Felipe Nasr (Brazil) and Dane Cameron (USA) covered more than 2,000 test kilometers in a few days, and Porsche and the Penska team (which is in charge of the LMDh program) said they were very pleased with the results achieved by the prototype.

When it comes to powertrain, the LMDh is powered by a turbocharged V8 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 670 hp (493 kW), because according to current regulations, the car’s power must not exceed 680 hp (500 kW).

Currently, Porsche is focused on teams using the 911 GT3 R model, as well as on the entry of four more versions of the 500+ PS nine-eleven to the European endurance classics on the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps.

The Porsche LMDh will debut in the 2023 WEC (World Endurance Championship) season.
