The Lamborghini Squadra Corsa SC63 will make its worldwide sim racing debut with its inclusion into Le Mans Ultimate thanks to the latest DLC – The Tifosi Italia pack. The Lamborghini SC63 is one of the newest Hypercars on the scene. First being revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July of 2023, before making its racing debut in the 2024 World Endurance Series and IMSA Sportscar Championship.
Studio 397 Are Delighted
“We are delighted to unveil the Lamborghini SC63 and bring this exciting car to Le Mans Ultimate,” said Stephen Hood, CEO of Studio 397. “To have the trust and faith bestowed upon us by Lamborghini Squadra Corsa is a testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of the entire Studio 397 team, to produce some of the most accurate cars in sim racing. The SC63 team behind the car are some of the most popular names on the grid and we are delighted to have the exclusive first play of the Lamborghini SC63 in any sim racing game, which will also be the first car as part of our 2024 Season Pass. There is a lot of excitement about the SC63 – and we feel there will be an outpour of enthusiasm for the car”
Introducing The Lamborghini SC63 LMDh
| Car | Ruleset | Engine | Hybrid? | Exclusive to LMU? |
| Lamborghini SC63 | LMDh | 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 | Yes | Yes |
On 17 May 2022, Lamborghini formally announced an entry into both the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA SportsCar Championship starting from the 2024 season. One month later, during the 2022 Le Mans press conference, it was confirmed that Lamborghini would buck the trend by working with Ligier as their chassis supplier, making Lamborghini the first manufacturer in the LMDh ruleset to select Ligier as their partner instead of the ever popular Dallara.
The Lamborghini SC63 machine is built to the LMDh ruleset, running a Ligier chassis mated with a twin-turbo 3.8 litre V8 – The first competition engine designed by Squadra Corsa. It has a rear-mounted 50kw spec MGU electric motor system with a 7-speed Xtrac sequential transmission.
Find It In WEC & IMSA
Interestingly, Lamborghini decided to make Iron Lynx its sole operator of the SC63 which means you will only see this Hypercar in Iron Lynx colours during the years between 2024 and 2027 in both WEC and IMSA, which is going to be the life cycle of this particular Hypercar.
It is fair to say that it has been an underwhelming start to the partnership between Lamborghini and Iron Lynx with teething problems hampering results. With a best result of 7th place at Sebring in the IMSA Sportscar Championship and a best result of 10th place at Le Mans in the World Endurance Championship the teams are working hard on improving performance now they are happy with reliability.

What Do Hypercars Feel Like In Le Mans Ultimate
When you get out on track, the effect of cold tyres will be a slap around the face, or more likely a firm shove off the track. You’ve probably seen Hypercars squirming around at the beginning of stints in real life and you’re going to be feeling the same thing in Le Mans Ultimate with the Lamborghini SC63.
You will, however, have a choice of three types of Michelin rubber in a Hypercar:
- The Hard compound offers the best longevity but the worst peak performance
- The Medium compound offers a middle ground of longevity and grip
- The Soft compound offers the worst longevity but the best outright pace
Remember that extremely cold tyres mean poor braking performance, which is just as pronounced as the general lack of grip you will experience. On the whole, though, you will find that you can hit the brakes relatively hard in one of Le Mans Ultimate’s Hypercars.
Additionally, how you manage each car’s hybrid system is complex and the Lamborghini will be no different. You can individually control deployment and regeneration over a lap, adding an extra layer to wheel-to-wheel racing that goes further than three simple modes.
