We are excited to unveil our latest masterpiece: the IFM LMH-S.

Welcome LMH-S!

That honestly has potential. They’ve been testing a lot at Monza, have a great test driver team e.g. Bonanomi, good partners, Michelotto is close to Dallara in terms of racing genius and experience, and they’ve had a decent race showing for such a tiny company.

But potential for what?
It's gonna be very compromised as a road car. And it has the potential to be the new king of impractical supercars. Even one-upping Valkyrie with that single seater arrangement

To me, it's super interesting because it's the same kind of car as Dauer 962 LM (albeit a lot uglier). But I have no illusions about this being anything more than a collector car.

BTW, imagine reading a road test in Evo magazine with a group of IF Tipo 6 LMH-S, Vanwall Vandervell 1000 and SCG 007S. That'd be so cool!
