    Mercedes AMG is making a big comeback to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the toughest endurance races, after 26 years. They’re entering with their AMG GT3 cars, teaming up with an Italian racing crew. It’s exciting because Mercedes wants to show they’re not just about luxury cars-they can race and win, too! It’s about Mercedes trying to make a strong return to a competitive arena while aiming for redemption after a brutal history at Le Mans. The script also talks about a cool idea for a fantasy car called the 2025 AMG GTP E-Performance, which fans would love to see competing against other high-tech cars from brands like BMW and Porsche. With sleek designs and plenty of horsepower, the prototype could really shake things up in racing.

    The problem with the CLR was the long overhangs of the wheels at both ends. While they helped make the car incredibly sleek and low-drag, they also made the car aerodynamically unstable over uneven terrain. None of those problems showed up in testing, but all tests were done under ideal conditions, like a wind tunnel or the road course layout of California/Auto Club Speedway. On these mirror-smooth surfaces, the car was benign and safe. But after encountering turbulent air on undulating tarmac, the CLR earned its infamous reputation as an uncontrollable flying object. They didn’t see it coming until it was too late.

    There is rumour that this could become a reality, from what a read some kind of 'chassis partner evaluation' has possibly taken place basing the car on the LMdH platform, as to what engine, probably a modified version of there GT3 car, it's proven reliable and powerful and 'road related' for marketing purposes plus it's probably more cost effective than building from scratch. They've got a new GT car coming in 27' so as you say it makes sense

    "It’s not for granted that you can run the GT3 without LMDh" Quoted from Lamborghini's technical director Rouven Mohr (credit DSC). Ford have now announced a LMDh program, McLaren seems to be an "any day now" thing which leaves MB as the only LMGT3 without an active or announced program (Corvette/Caddy under GM).
    Something tells me that an MB LMH will be announced at Le Mans this year.

      Did you know the Acura LMDh can hit 10K RPM? I'm not sure if that car goes that high during those 12 to 24-hour races, but some race cars like the Peugeot 905 definitely did, so it can work.

    The design of that model is amazing. Although i wouldn't be surprised if Merc simply does what AM did with their hypercar. Take an AMG one and modify it, like how AM modified the valkyrie

    • @christheradar
      @christheradar  4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yeah, that won’t happen because the AMG One is just a track car, not built for endurance. They didn’t design it to be an endurance car at all. Their future sports car prototype might borrow aesthetics from the AMG One and AMG GT3 Evo, like the headlights, grille, and engine, but everything else is new.

  • @OIMADIS

    Why not just use an AMG ONE as the platform for a hypercar like Aston Martin did with the Valkyrie

    • @christheradar
      @christheradar  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

      Mercedes isn't on board with that plan because it doesn't fit their marketing goals. As much as we'd love to see the AMG One hypercar hit the track like the Valkyrie, it was never made for endurance racing. This leads to thinking they would build an LMDh and use one of their existing engines from their F1 or GT3 cars.

  • @grahamcrackergaming1540
    @grahamcrackergaming1540 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I mean Mercedes is rumored for an LMDh entry in Hypercar and/or GTP, so it’s probably not that far fetched. Especially since before, Ford and McLaren by 2023 when Hypercar reached its peak and GTP was introduced (or reintroduced if u will) were only just rumors they’d do a sports car program, but it was just that, rumors. Until the end of last year where a McLaren Hypercar/GTP actually seemed like a possibility. Now Ford has announced a Hypercar program with potentially a GTP program in the future. And by it sounds McLaren is set to announce a Hypercar/GTP program later this year. So Mercedes in most likely Hypercar at least probably wouldn’t be a stretch if they can fit it along with their F1 program.
    Although if we want to be more realistic with what to expect with the car, as much as we want the car to be an LMH spec with Mercedes’ capable of designing fast and extraordinary race cars. With the F1 program it’s probably gonna be made under LMDh to keep it on the cheap side. The engine will most likely be from a road going engine, something similar most likely to what’s run in the GT3 car or whatever model will replace the current GT3. Albeit NA or Turbo, V6 or V8, etc. The F1 engine, even if it were reengineered to be capable for endurance racing, it’s not really meant for it, even with the 2026 regulations with lower hp, it’s not really tested nor suited for endurance racing. As for what team would run the program? Well that’s a very long list to go through. It could go to Iron Lynx since they’re running Mercedes GT3s in WEC and already have prototype experience especially with Lambo, it’s not 100% certain they’d do it. And even then I feel like Mercedes would kinda treat the program similar to what Lamborghini is doing where they’re more so going the full privateer route where it’s kinda like GT3 customer support teams but also not like GT3, if that makes sense.

      So, do you think it’s cool or not? If you check out the current hypercars using an LMDh chassis, like those from BMW and Porsche, it totally makes sense that they look like an LMP2. That’s because LMDh is built on an LMP2 chassis.

      @christheradar really if the rear fin/wing element were tweaked to be a bit more unique that would probably make the look complete, i like the rest of the design I just don't think the lmp2 fin works with it, they can make it more sleek and match the flow of the car. I really like the extensions on the front fender and I would like to see slats over the opening in the fenders to go with the AMG One vibe on the front end.
