Hypercar in RaceRoom: finally a reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That the BMW M Hybrid V8 is coming to RaceRoom is big news. The LMDh Hypercar competes in both the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the North American IMSA Sportscar Championship. This makes it the first official confirmation of a modern Hypercar in RaceRoom, after a teaser of the Lamborghini SC63 LMDh appeared earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no release date has been mentioned yet, KW Studios did announce that more information will follow during the next episode of Gridtalk on 19 June. Then, gameplay of the BMW in action will also be shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifications: what makes this Hypercar so special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The BMW M Hybrid V8 is the result of a collaboration between BMW M Motorsport and chassis partner Dallara. The car marks BMW's return to the highest level of endurance prototype racing since the late 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the bonnet is an advanced twin-turbo V8, based on the P66\/1 block from the BMW M4 DTM. This powerplant is mated to a seven-speed Xtrac gearbox, and is supported by a hybrid system with a 50 kW electric motor from Bosch. In total, the powertrain delivers some 640 hp of pure racing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
