Le Mans Prototypes
Le Mans Prototypes (LMP) are specialized racing cars designed for endurance racing, particularly in events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. These vehicles are built to be lightweight and aerodynamic, allowing them to achieve high speeds while maintaining stability over long distances. LMPs are a key part of the FIA World Endurance Championship, showcasing cutting-edge technology and engineering.
The LMP category is divided into different classes, such as LMP1 and LMP2, each with specific regulations regarding design and performance. These prototypes often feature hybrid powertrains, combining traditional combustion engines with electric motors, reflecting the industry's push towards sustainability in motorsport.
