That’s the idea with the new 963. Officially revealed yesterday at Goodwood, this is Porsche’s new LMDh weapon for 2023. Powered by a twin-turbo 4.6-liter V8 engine producing 671 hp, the car definitively has the looks. Let’s see if it also walks the walk and talks the talk.
Damn that looks good 🤩
Well, a 1-2 win – not unexpected, was it? Even so, we had a Glickenhaus on the podium, which was quite nice to see. Some say that Toyota, Glickenhaus and Alpine were only “place holders” until things get really serious next year, when the “big boys” will be back. In LMP2 Jota did a great race, and this year was the last race for GTE-Pro, which was kind of sad to see. At least Ferrari didn’t win. Anything 🤣. Shame to see that no Corvette finished on the podium, though (and they started REALLY well).
In the end a nice race. The great part is that there’s just one year to go for Le Mans 2023 🏆.

Obviously Lamborghinis had raced at La Sarthe before, but this will be the first time for a factory effort. For me at least, this was always my gripe with Lamborghini. Looks like I can’t complain anymore.
It was about time! 🐮
