We’ve got our first look at what Ferrari is bringing to the FIA World Endurance Championship.
After announcing the end of the brand’s 50-year hiatus from top-class endurance racing, Ferrari’s newest LMH racing prototype has finally been unveiled. The car remains in development and testing, and thus is still in camouflage, but Antonello Coletta, Head of Ferrari Attività Sportive GT says that despite this, “it is undeniably recognizable as a Ferrari.” The shape of the car immediately evokes Ferrari race cars of the past, and this new LMH car has the goal of taking the torch of Ferrari’s glorious racing heritage and bringing Ferrari back to the forefront of top-class endurance racing.
