Hypercar’s will be aero balanced so brands can style their cars. Rather than just aiming for pure performance.somehow this car already looks dated. wasn't toyota teasing something about a le mans hypercar not long ago as well?
Damn you just slapped me over the head with nostalgia with this picture.The front of the car reminds me of the secret car El Nino from Need for Speed 3

Is this not a Ferrari on steroids?
I absolutely agree.Cool to see the car. They had mentioned to were doing it at the 24NBR this year. By the way, can the Competizione lap the 24H course or Nordschleife in 6:30? If it's really the 24H course wouldn't that put it on pace to beat the 919 Evo around Nordschleife?
Oops, thanks for the tag. I'm blaming fat fingers - I was looking at the 2015 qualifying time of 8'27, and 6'30 on the 24hr is obviously stupid. Duly corrected 👍I absolutely agree.
Actually the error seems to come from the Wikipedia page of the SCG003, where a quote is referring to a motorauthority.com article. In that article it says that the 24h lap time was 8:15, but somehow they derive 6:33 as a fictitious lap time for the Nordschleife only (without the GP circuit).
This article is therefore misquoted on Wikipedia.
