Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. I don't trust any other LMP. This car was so good in GT5 that I didn't dare to risk it and buy one of the new ones. I didn't regret it.
I just own two and I've driven them without any aids besides ABS at 1.
The R18 is a very good handling car, but it's a bit down on speed compared to the other LMPs.
The Sauber C9 is too fast for...well...most people. Just too much power. It's definitely a handful. I wouldn't trust it for close races or long events if you aren't a very experienced driver.
It's interesting to see different opinions on which LMP or Group C is better. I still think the 908 FAP is the most balanced. the only thing it lacks is top speed, and as any LMP it suffers against Group C's in straights.
If you go for a Group C, I either recommend the Mazda 787 or the Jaguar XJR-9.
The Jaguar XJR9 is probably the best all around option. Thing was a beast in GT5.
I used the Bentley Speed 8, it's wonderful. But the Group C cars make up from the time I gained in the corners right back on a straight... and probably a little more.
I went with the 787B for my first one because it was my favorite in GT5. And it actually sounds good. Hahah.
Second I did the R18 just for the sake of owning a recent winners' car.
Third was the Deltawing.
And then the Bentley. Best one so far IMO.
908 is really fast and easy to drive unmodified. The fact that it comes as a base version is nice too, at least means you can personalise the car a bit. I'd suggest a Group C car like the Sauber C9 or the XJR-9 if you need more straight line speed, if you're more interested in something easier to drive and quicker around the corners stick with the newer LMP's like the 908. The Bentley is good as everyone has mentioned, although I'm not a fan of the huge HP increase it has when you purchase it, limited it back down to ~620HP, if you do that, it'll be quite a bit slower than the other cars.
Fastest straight line lmp is a shocker: the previously underwhelming audi r10. That's right. The once near garbage lmp has a juicy 1250 hp to nudge you down the mulsanne, handeling remains unchanged from gt5 but to go from 800-1250 hp makes this car near the top. Can't go wrong with the sauber or 908 which is the most balanced premium. Gt6 has closed the gap between premiums and standards, so also consider the 01 audi r8 the 05 just isn't as good because of the added 50 kg. Pescarolos tend to lack in the handling compartment, but make up for it in the straight line. They get faster from the 03-05. Bmw lmr is a very solid choice which I like to think is a underused car. Call me crazy but I have Never been a big fan of the 787b, but I still can't figure out why. The Minolta and 905 show just how fast the group c cars once were, and are very effective against their modern day counterparts. The two nissans 89 and 92 are beasts down the straight. The handling isn't the greatest on the two. The 89 does have a good sound which isn't copied from other Lmps like so many of them are now. The Toyota gt one isn't quite as fast as it once was in gt5 even with the increased horsepower via the turbo increase. (In gt5 it could hit 325 with no draft on ssrx) now it can't hit 300 from what I have tested. The Bentley is a solid choice with great looks and handling. The premium switch-over makes this car more pleasing interior views. Finally, the new addition in the audi r18. Is this car underpowered? Compared to real life? No. Relative to other cars in its in-game class? Absolutely. The performance points on this car are well... Low. In seasonal events I could almost see this car being the new chaparral 2j at 650pp. The handling is superb. This car is a blast flying through the Porsche curves. These were my thoughts on the Lmps in gt6, and hopefully people are able to find the car that best suits them

You don't get a HP boost in GT6, HP is pretty much what you see at purchase until you change the oil. I think in GT6 race cars have their actual HP figures instead of that magical boost they got in GT5. I have the Sauber C9 and it's actually worse than it used to be in GT5, power is overwhelming even though it's about 200hp less than it was in GT5. The '05 Pescarolo is a rather fast machine but ugly in cockpit, I'd use the Pug 908 or the R18, you don't necessarily need speed to win versus the AI control and braking will help you win the day easily, that R18 is like a hot knife through butter the way it handles just carves up corners without holding back.

The Bentley in the showroom and when it gets delivered to the garage has different figures. I think the difference was more than 100hp even? I don't remember.
787B. I never thought much of it until I won one in GT5, and entered it into a seasonal event. My mind changed after dominatedobliterated the competition. I love that thing to death.

👍 I definitely know what you're talking about.
