Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
On-track testing began in December 2021, after the 9X8 was revealed. The car made its competitive debut at Monza in July 2022.
At that debut, the #93 car retired and the #94 car finished 25 laps off the lead, and the cars had reliability problems at Fuji later in the season.
The 2023 season was planned as the first full WEC campaign, including the Le Mans centenary.
