Pretty cool! I've always been a fan of the ARX series of cars.
I did like that in the past they used modified versions of their J series V6's, though. I liked that it was racing around with a mid-sized SUV engine.
Acura released the first official images of its 2023 GTP and LMDh prototype race car, the ARX-06, set to making its racing debut at the 2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona under the banners of Wayne Taylor Racing and Meyer Shank Racing.
Even better, the Japanese car maker also offers details about the race car’s powertrain. (Let’s be honest, that’s what you really want to know.) Dubbed the “AR24e,” the ARX-06’s powerplant is comprised of a “all-new bespoke” 2.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 mated to the IMSA-specified electric Bosch Motor Generator Unit and the Williams Advanced Engineering battery pack.
Although noted to be the smallest ICE engine designed by HPD for endurance racing, the AR24e “still meets the performance target of 500 kW,” or approximately 671 horsepower.
As far as the chassis, Acura opted to go with ORECA’s design, continuing the two brand’s cooperation since joining forces in 2007.
The public unveiling of the ARX-06 is set for August 19 in Carmel, California, at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.

With all the manufacturers hopping aboard the LMDh class, it will certainly be exciting to watch.
Hear me out: This but in Championship White.

Exactly.
I dunno, I'm thinking this needs Alitalia rally racing livery
