How long do you think it will be before the road cars follow suit?

I wonder if the strategy is for race cars first, hope to achieve success on the race track then introduce the change to road cars (on the back of Le Mans, Daytona, etc class victories)?

So, not a 911 then?

Why not do the RSR based on the GT2 ???

Considering the next generation of 911's will share the same platform as Audi R8 and Lambo, it's a good guess the 911 will be more mid engined then.

It's the projected 960 that will share the platform of the lambo/R8 surely not 911?

the RSR going mid engine has little to no relevance to any projected road car surely. Walliser has said no waivers actually were required per GTE regs so there's no need for further homologation and the primary reason for doing that was to fit a whopping great big diffuser which has absolutely zero relevance in a road car.
