26 Years in a Row Powering Champions at Le Mans 24h
Garrett Performance Turbochargers
Le Mans isn’t just a race — it’s an exhilarating 24-hour challenge where only the most advanced machines survive! For nearly a century, it has pushed the boundaries of engineering, inspiring awe and wonder in all who witness it. At Garrett Motion, we absolutely love pushing the limits!
With a 70-year legacy in performance innovation, Garrett continues to play a pivotal role in the world’s most demanding motorsport. In 2025, most Hypercar manufacturers using turbocharged engines at Le Mans chose our tailored turbocharging technology.
A Legacy of Innovation
Le Mans, first held in 1923, rewards not just speed but staying power. It’s a race won through endurance, precision, efficiency, and unshakable reliability. Since our first turbo in 1954, Garrett has supported vehicle makers and racing teams that embody these same values, and win with them.
As the automotive world evolves, many cars in the race are now hybrids, combining the best of mechanical and electric power. Garrett is not just turbocharging supercars but hybrid supercars, further enhancing their performance and efficiency. The race at Le Mans is not just about speed and endurance; it’s about innovation. As the motorsport world moves towards zero emissions, Garrett is at the forefront with solutions for hydrogen-powered vehicles, offering the right solutions for both hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE) and fuel cell vehicles.
Why Garrett Turbochargers win in races like Le Mans?
- Reliability – Our systems are engineered for uninterrupted performance across 24 gruelling hours. Designed to endure simulations equivalent to multiple races, Garrett turbos are battle-tested for extreme durability.
- Performance – Custom aerodynamics boost engine output and efficiency while helping manufacturers meet fuel economy targets — critical in endurance strategy.
- Lightweight Advantage – Low-mass turbo systems help meet strict weight regulations and optimize car balance by allowing targeted ballast placement.
