Ferrari prototype for Le Mans filmed during testing

Ferrari’s return to Le Mans is one step closer to reality. Last month, the Italian automaker revealed an image of the front end, saying that the car would begin testing “in the coming weeks.” On Wednesday, it showed a blacked-out image of the car, and a video of the car at the Fiorano test track also started circulating on social media.

This is the first full look at the upcoming new category LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) race car, which will take Ferrari to its first season in the top category of the endurance championship in 50 years.

Ferrari covers the racing car with camouflage film over the entire body, which hides the details of the car. However, there are some aspects of the design that nothing will cover up, such as the huge rear wing. Also visible is the intake on the roof and the scoop-shaped front end. The front fenders are massive and sit higher than the body of the vehicle.

Ferrari will not return to Le Mans until next year, giving the automaker plenty of time to test. This is just the beginning of the car’s development, with the car spending more time in the garage than on the track. However, Ferrari has planned a longer track time at the bigger race track.

It’s unclear what internal combustion engine Ferrari will use, but the exhaust note captured in the video is more than interesting.

When Ferrari returns to the WEC series next year, it will face several competitors thanks to the cooperation between the racing associations ACO, FIA and IMSA on the rules for the LMH and LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h) classes. This will allow the two classes that US IMSA considers to be the only one called GTP to compete together in Europe.

Cadillac, Porsche, Acura and others field LMDh cars, while racers Ferrari, Toyota and Peugeot prepare LMHs. Next year, not only the 24 Hours of Le Mans, promises a spectacular spectacle.
