Here's the first proper look at the new Acura ARX-06 LMDh car that will compete in IMSA's top GTP class in 2023.
Having previously released only limited images of the car in camouflage livery from a Le Castellet test held in July, the Acura ARX-06 was revealed in full for the first time on Wednesday, featuring a predominantly white colour scheme.The marque also revealed that it has built a bespoke 2.4-litre twin-turbo V6 engine combustion to power the Oreca-based LMDh contender, and it has been designed in-house by Honda Performance Department.
It added that it has gone with a 90-degree V angle to lower the centre of gravity and reduce polar movement of inertia. Acura said the exterior design of the car was completed jointly by its Design Studio in Los Angeles, a team of HPD aero engineers and chassis builder Oreca. “We’ve taken the challenge presented by this new rule package from IMSA and the ACO, and developed what we believe is a very competitive solution,” said Pierre Descamps, who led HPD’s powertrain design team for the ARX-06.
