Embark on a Lamborghini SC63 Tour with Romain Grosjean

The SC63, is equipped with a hybrid powertrain similar to other LMDh cars, but it stands out with its unique V-8 engine developed internally by Lamborghini's Squadra Corse motorsports division.

A recent video released on IMSA's YouTube channel provides a detailed overview of the SC63, which was recorded prior to its participation in the 12 Hours of Sebring last weekend. This race marked the second round of the SportsCar Championship, as Lamborghini did not compete in the opening round at Daytona in January.

During the Sebring race, the SC63 secured a seventh-place finish, thanks to the exceptional performance of Matteo Cairoli, Andrea Caldarelli, and Romain Grosjean. Grosjean, a former Formula 1 driver, is prominently featured in the video, sharing his experience of driving the car.

The SC63 made its racing debut at the inaugural round of the World Endurance Championship in Qatar during early March. Mirko Bortolotti, Daniil Kvyat, and Edoardo Mortara drove the car to a 14th place finish.

Lamborghini has joined forces with the Italian racing team Iron Lynx for its LMDh program, competing under the name Lamborghini Iron Lynx. All LMDh race cars are equipped with a hybrid powertrain that includes a control Xtrac transmission, battery, and motor-generator unit to help manage costs.

Constructors have the freedom to select the internal-combustion part of the powertrain, and Lamborghini has chosen to develop its own twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-8 engine for the LMDh program. Additionally, constructors can customize the gear ratios for the transmission and the differential slip.

In addition, constructors must utilize a control chassis that resembles a current LMP2 chassis, which can be obtained from one of four suppliers: Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, and Oreca. Lamborghini has opted for a chassis from Ligier. Being the first constructor to select this chassis, Lamborghini was able to collaborate with Ligier to finalize the specifications according to its specific requirements.
