I like it. RS Spyder V8; 10,300 rpm; part-time all wheel drive; torque vectoring; flywheel kinetic energy recovery; faster and more efficient.
As they develop the KERS, the weight penalty should go down, making handling better in the dry.
I have also heard that there is a prototype class at the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife 24 Stunden this year for a car just such as this. I would love to see this actually raced.
More on the future racing plans for the 997 GT3-R Hybrid and 918RSR. Unclassified in ALMS for now, GT in future (2012?). Development of flywheel KERS efficiency and weight, etc.

ALMS would be neat. I will be watching the Nordschleife whatever is running.
Crazy looking car with lots of cues from the carrera GT. I can't wait to read more about it!
Great looking car. Looks like a modern 904
