It Sure Seems Like Lamborghini's LMDh Le Mans Prototype Just Leaked
It Sure Seems Like Lamborghini's LMDh Le Mans Prototype Just Leaked-August 2024

On Thursday, July 13 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lamborghini is scheduled to unveil its for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and beyond. However, you’ll notice today is Wednesday, July 12, and yet there are full images of a race car on this very page that seem to look a lot like the one Sant’Agata is expected to introduce this week. What gives?

Your guess is as good as ours, but in any event the car seems to have leaked and is making the rounds across social media. Here’s a small collection of photos courtesy of Luca Basso via . (Update: That tweet was deleted minutes after this article went live. Suspicious! with the same images from a different user, screenshotted below for posterity this time.)

And here’s Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s latest teaser, for cross-referencing purposes. Seems pretty convincing, no? All that’s left to discover is the name.

Aesthetics really aren’t all that important to actual success in motorsport, but for what it’s worth and by the powers vested in me by this very site, I officially deem Lamborghini’s LMDh a Good Race Car. Although the LMDh category necessitates the use of spec components — and that includes the chassis — Porsche, Cadillac, BMW and Acura’s efforts all look different enough, and Lamborghini’s certainly wouldn’t be confused for anyone else’s.

The graphic of the bisecting vertical and horizontal LED running lights are reminiscent of in particular, but Lamborghini has a precedent of giving its road cars a similar treatment, so everything tracks. Out back, it’s the same story; hallmarks of the are all over this thing. Shades of Lambo’s Vision GT show car bubble under the surface, too — . Thankfully, the Italian marque’s design team has no choice but to rein it in when tasked with creating an actual race car.

One more thought: While it’s too early to assume how the actual competition livery for this thing will look in the World Endurance Championship or IMSA, it’s already separated itself from the pack by being mostly green. That’s good; we need more green race cars.

We’ve reached out to Lamborghini for confirmation, though with the reveal scheduled for tomorrow at 4:30 a.m. Eastern time, it’s unwise to expect any. Thoughts? You know where to leave ’em.

Formula Drift Returns To Irwindale Speedway, The Track That Refuses To Die
For years now, SoCal’s Irwindale Speedway has been stuck in a loop of closing then not closing then closing and not closing again. But now that we know Irwindale get bulldozed for a crappy shopping mall, will return to where it all began in America with FD’s first North American...

Having A Frozen F1 Track Almost To Yourself Is The Stuff Of Slippery Slidey Dreams
Formula One’s winter test day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was snowed out this morning with no cars on course until the afternoon. For once, we’re not super jealous of the F1 drivers. Open cockpits are awfully drafty. Clearly, the driver sent to do reconnaissance laps had the better job...

Barrier-Breaking Ferrari Ace Christina Nielsen Now Gets Her Own Awesome Lego Set
If you scroll down the “Speed Champions” motorsports section of Lego’s online shop, you’ll see far more plastic facial hair than ponytails or lipstick outlines. The ones with feminine features don’t tend to be in the starring role as the driver. That’s until you get to a red Ferrari with...

Putting A Cupholder In My Race Car Is The Best Decision I've Ever Made
I am neither proud nor ashamed of my coffee habit. I learned to drive in the Seattle area as Starbucks was well on its way to world domination, so I knew from an early age that a cupholder is one of the bare necessities a car must have. Even my...
