Motorsport Games and Studio 397 have revealed the content for the upcoming first paid DLC pack for Le Mans Ultimate, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The new DLC pack Pack will become available on Tuesday 23rd July, and includes the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari (Imola) Circuit, the Lamborghini SC63, and the 2024 Peugeot 9X8 Hypercars. This new DLC pack will form one-quarter of the 2024 DLC Season Pass which will be on sale later this month.
The new DLC pack will be available to purchase at an early access price via Steam for just £9.99 / €11.99 / $12.99 on the 23rd of July.
The 2024 DLC Season Pass will be priced at just £39.99 / €46.99 / $49.99. The pass will offer a saving of almost 25% compared to purchasing all four packs individually. The 2024 Season Pass will bundle together all four packs, which will include four new Hypercars, four iconic circuits, and seven of the closely matched GT3 cars in larger packs towards the end of the schedule.
Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari (Imola)
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari or Imola as it is mostly called hosted the Formula One San Marino Grand Prix. Sadly enough the track is most remembered for the fatal accidents of Formula One drivers Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Imola is one of the few major international circuits to run in an anti-clockwise direction. The track is 4.933 km (3.065 mi) long and features 23 turns.
Lamborghini SC63
The Lamborghini SC63 is a hybrid racing car prototype designed to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (Hypercar class) and IMSA SportsCar Championship (GTP class). It marks a significant step for Lamborghini as it’s their first entry into the top level of endurance racing.
The car was unveiled in July 2023 and is currently competing in the 2024 season. It will be raced by Iron Lynx for its four-year cycle which concludes in 2027. This includes prestigious races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Lamborghini Centro Stile is behind the car’s design, incorporating signature Lamborghini design elements alongside aerodynamic features for optimal performance. The carbon fiber bodywork, underfloor, and rear wing were all specifically crafted for this purpose.
The car is powered by a hybrid powertrain, consisting of a 90° V8 twin-turbo internal combustion engine and a standardized hybrid drivetrain, delivering a maximum possible combined output of 671 hp (500 kW).
Peugeot 9X8
The Peugeot 9X8 is a Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) sports prototype racing car built by French car manufacturer Peugeot for the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). It is Peugeot’s first return to the top flight of sports car racing since 2011.
The 9X8 is a hybrid car, powered by a 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine at the rear and a 200 kW electric motor at the front. The combined power output is 680 horsepower (500 kW). The V6 engine is a development of the engine used in the Peugeot 508 TCR touring car.
One of the most distinctive features of the 9X8 is its lack of a traditional rear wing. Instead, the car uses a smaller “active aero” device that can be adjusted to optimize downforce and drag. This is a first for a top-level sports car racer. The 9X8 is a significant departure from previous Peugeot Le Mans prototypes, such as the 905 Evo and 908. It has a more aggressive and futuristic design, with a sharp nose and a long, sweeping tail. The car is also much lighter and more efficient than its predecessors.
