This highly anticipated title features a strong partnership with the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), allowing players to experience authentic vehicles from prestigious endurance racing series.

Pro Racer Tatsuya Kato's Top LMDh Picks

Adding to the excitement, professional racer Tatsuya Kato, who also serves as an ambassador for the racing cockpit brand DRAPOJI, provided insights into his top three picks from the LMDh class vehicles in the game. These selections highlight the advanced technology and performance characteristics that define high-level endurance racing.

1. Lamborghini SC63 LMDh

This marks Lamborghini's debut in the LMDh prototype category, featuring a powerful 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo engine coupled with a hybrid system, generating around 680 horsepower. The lightweight carbon monocoque design ensures optimal rigidity and weight distribution, making it a formidable contender on the racetrack.

Kato's Insight: “The Lamborghini SC63 is a bold entry into endurance racing, embodying their ambitious vision. The name 'SC' represents Lamborghini's motorsport division, Squadra Corse, while '63' reflects the year of the company's founding. With an aggressive design and exhilarating sound, this vehicle promises fierce acceleration. It's a must-drive for circuit enthusiasts!”

2. Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercar

Equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, the Aston Martin Valkyrie brings F1 technology into the realm of Le Mans racing. Its exceptional aerodynamic performance and sheer power symbolize Aston Martin's return to the top racing category.

Kato's Insight: “The Valkyrie, conceived by aerodynamics whiz Adrian Newey, transforms cutting-edge concepts into pure racing excellence. Its phenomenal cornering abilities, fueled by a screaming V12 engine, are breathtaking. Experience the speed and sound of this prototype beyond the streets within the game.”

3. Porsche 963

The Porsche 963 represents the latest in LMDh prototypes, fitted with a hybrid V8 engine designed to succeed in IMSA and Le Mans races. This vehicle encapsulates the spirit of Porsche racing, combining speed with precision.

Kato's Insight: “With a record 19 overall wins at Le Mans, the Porsche 963 is a testament to enduring reliability and performance. Built on a 4.6-liter V8 twin-turbo base, its advanced hybrid system meets the high demands of endurance racing. Master this latest machine to strategize and concentrate your way to victory!”
