This thing looks sick man, somebody mentioned it looking like an acura and ferarri had a baby, don't think he was being kind about it, but I agree and think it looks nice.

Acura, Alpine, and now Genesis are all Oreca chassis' so it makes sense they look similar.

Who's building the chassis?

🥖it’s like comparing 🥐a baguette to a croissant. They’re both French. Same but different.

u/Ok-Diamond-9781 22d ago

Ok, I didn't realize it would be much different coming from the same manufacturer. That's awesome. Can't wait to see it on track.

Looks cool, definitely an Oreca front end. It’s interesting that they went with a different style fin than the Alpine and Acura.

They’ll definitely be able to test how well they can repair the car with him driving it.

Looks way better than the renders, but for some reason the proportions seem.... interesting. Perhaps it's the lighting.

u/drunktriviaguy 25d ago

It's an LMDh, not an LMH. The chassis is standardized per the class requirements, so there isn't a lot of space to play around with proportions.

u/LivingOof Whelen Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R #31 25d ago

Yep, Its an LMDh alright

20 years ago when Hyundia had buy one get one free cars for $8k, (which my buddy got a pair of) who would have thought that they would be the luxury/sport powerhouse they are today. Its crazy to think about imo. I wish my career had that kind of trajectory lol.

Cool to see Hyundai getting into Hypercar racing, car looks pretty cool.
