The new top class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, is Hypercar. Two types of cars are eligible: LMH (Le Mans Hypercar starting in 2021) and LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h starting in 2023). As of 2023, both types of cars will be on the track together in the FIA WEC and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship so they will be seen at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

For the 2021 Hypercar class, only cars compliant with Le Mans Hypercar technical regulations will be on the track. This allows for a variety of architectures, but specifically watch for a hybrid system on the front axle. In 2023, constructors having voted to follow the LMDh regulations will compete in the Hypercar class. In LMDh there will be four chassis manufacturers: Dallara, Multimatic, Ligier and ORECA. The engine, bodywork and hybrid system will come from the automaker in a move to save what has become an absurdly expensive class of racing.
