Porsche Penske Motorsport unveiled its new Porsche 963 LMDh-spec car for the 2023 season.

The reveal of the Porsche 963 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England also included an announcement of the driver pairings for next season. Porsche Penske Motorsport plans to race two cars next season in both the GTP (Grand Touring Prototype) class in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and in the Hypercar class in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The Porsche 963 will make its racing debut at the 61st anniversary Rolex 24 at Daytona weekend, Jan. 26-29, 2023.

Porsche is one of four manufacturers lined up to race in the new top classes of sports cars in both IMSA and WEC in 2023. It joins Acura, Cadillac and BMW.

Alpine and Lamborghini have announced plans to join the party in 2024. Audi previously announced plans for an LMDh car, but those plans are apparently on hold while the company evaluates the economy and a possible move into Formula 1.

The racing 963 will carry the traditional Porsche motor racing colors: white, red and black and feature a 680 hp engine.
