The **BMW M Hybrid V8**, a significant advancement in the world of motorsports, has arrived at the **House of BMW** in **Milan's Via Montenapoleone**. This vehicle heralds **BMW M Motorsport**'s return to the prestigious **FIA World Endurance Championship** and the iconic **24 Hours of Le Mans** in **2024**. Visitors can admire the car from November 15th to 28th, with viewing available most days from 10 am to 7 pm.

This hybrid sports car is equipped with the potent **P66/3** **eight-cylinder turbocharged engine** complemented by an electric unit. Originating from the engine used in the **BMW M4 DTM**, it has undergone extensive modifications to meet the rigorous demands of the **LMDH hybrid drive system**. Notably, the engine's design allows it to integrate seamlessly into a monocoque chassis without needing an additional subframe. This feature aligns perfectly with the requirements for a turbocharged hybrid engine.

After its debut in the **2023 North American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship**, the **M Hybrid V8** is set to compete against top-tier hypercars in the 2024 official FIA World Endurance Championship. Its preparation for these high-profile races began with testing sessions at Spa-Francorchamps starting in September.

Adding to its allure, the renowned artist **Julie Mehretu** will create the twentieth **BMW Art Car** based on the M Hybrid V8 model. This artistic rendition of the car, showcasing the intersection of high-performance motoring and art, will also be displayed at the **House of BMW**​​.
