woooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Okay, I'm not that smart but why is there two positions for the driver?
just one position for the driver
the other is a "passenger seat"
maybe a passenger that doesn't mind having his head sucked into the V-10...
i haven't followed the LMP-2 sportscar regs lately, so i donno if a "passenger seat" is one of those silly FIA requirements, like having the "FIA Suitcase" was in the 60's...\\but i'd guess the "dual rollover hoop" is intended as an immediate visual identification element, evoking the looks of the 917 CanAm cars.
but WTFDIK. nobody from Weissach has called asking for -my- opinions lately :-)
That car looks sweeeeet!
I see a lot of this in the future

I read in this month's Pano that this car is entirely fresh...including the engine.
Hey!!!
They are copying Muellers idea of the Air intake manifold with single cylinder throttle valves!
Cool.
I wonder what it would take to make it street legal?
...makes one wonder what the bhp would go up to, if the restrictor was yanked out
MF
3.4-liter V8 making 450hp
I wonder if Porsche would/could put a variation of that engine in the 911???
