BMW M Hybrid V8

BMW are previous winners of Le Mans, with the German brand sealing outright victory in 1999. Fast forward 25 years and BMW returns and enters two BMW M Hybrids in the 2024 FIA WEC season.

Using a Dallara chassis, the LMDh machine was competitive from the outset, battling with the established names in the highly-competitive Hypercar class.

Imola is the best result to date in 2024 – with a solid sixth overall for the #20 machine. #20 was to be a special number for BMW in 2024 as it marked the 20th Art Car produced by the Bavarian outfit, with Julie Mehretu penning the 20^th version for the team at Le Mans.

The BMW M Hybrid was the first 2024 car to be added to the Le Mans Ultimate line-up ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
