The brand new 2023 Ferrari Le Mans Hypercar just made its first steps in the Fiorano Circuit in Italy... and I couldn’t miss this opportunity! Ferrari last competed in the top class of Le Mans in 1963, when it dominated the Prototype 3000 class with its breathtaking 250 GTO. Next year, exactly 50 years later, Ferrari will return to Le Mans’ LMH (Le Mans Hypercar), once again competing in the top-dog prototype class. This time, it will be using an all-new prototype hybrid hypercar, which was recently teased on Ferrari’s Instagram, in a shadowy image. Ahead of this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, Top Gear had the chance to talk to Antonello Coletta, Ferrari’s head of Competizioni GT, about its upcoming Le Mans hypercar. As many new manufacturers enter the LMDh (Le Mans Daytona hybrid) class at Le Mans--including Cadillac, BMW, and Acura--Ferrari is entering LMH instead, simply so it can design and create the entire car itself. “We chose to come back into LMH because when Ferrari races it needs to make the whole car. We decided on the category because this way we make the chassis, the combustion engine, the electric power, the gearbox–everything,” Coletta told us. In the LMDh class, manufacturers have to use a chassis and hybrid setup from one of four different suppliers; Dallara (BMW and Cadillac), Oreca, Ligier, or Multimatic. However, Ferrari isn’t interested in any of that, instead wanting the car to be entirely Ferrari, and the brand is confident in its home-grown hypercar. “We are confident that the Hypercar will be very strong. Our dream is to win. If the target is not to win then it would be stupid to put the car on the track.” said Coletta. Ferrari doesn’t have very long before its Hypercar hits tarmac in the World Endurance Championship. Its first WEC race begins in March 2023, which might seem far away but is a blink when you’re developing a race car. The Ferrari team is also busy developing the new 296 GT3 car for Le Mans, which will replace the highly successful 488 GT3 in January, 2023. Enjoy the video ;) #Ferrari #LeMans #Hypercar
