Honda Performance Development, nowHonda Racing Corporation USA, developed the bespoke engine for the new-for-2023ARX-06LMDh featuring the smallest displacement that HRC US has made for an endurance racing engine. Optimizations include the 90° V-angle, to reduce the center of gravity of the engine and the combustion chamber can use sustainable low-carbon fuel.[2][3] In accordance with the LMDh rules, the AR24e internal combustion engine is connected to the standardized hybrid drivetrain components provided byBosch (motor generator unit),Williams Advanced Engineering (battery pack), and anXtrac P1359 gearbox.[4]
