Technical Specifications of LMP3 Cars
Here are the technical characteristics of an LMP3:
​
1. Engine: LMP3 cars typically feature V8 Nissan VK56 engines with around 5 liters of displacement, producing between 400 and 450 horsepower. These engines provide impressive power while being reliable and relatively fuel-efficient.
​
2. Chassis: LMP3 chassis are constructed from carbon fiber, offering an ideal balance of lightweight construction and stiffness for optimal handling. They are designed to meet the strict safety standards set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
​
3. Aerodynamics: LMP3 cars are equipped with front and rear wings as well as other sophisticated aerodynamic elements to generate maximum downforce while minimizing drag. This allows the cars to maintain stability at high speeds and improve cornering performance.
​
4. Gearbox: LMP3 cars typically feature a six-speed sequential gearbox, enabling quick and precise gear changes to fully exploit the engine's power.
​
5. Safety Systems: In addition to standard safety features such as roll cages and racing harnesses, LMP3 cars are equipped with advanced safety systems such as fire suppression systems and enhanced restraint systems to protect the driver in the event of an accident.
​
These characteristics make LMP3 cars exceptional racing machines, capable of competing at a professional level while offering an exciting challenge for drivers and teams alike.
