I love how different they are under the skin to all be within a second or two a Le Mans. Audi is a TDI V6 with a flywheel hybrid, Porsche is a turbo gas V4 with a lithium ion battery hybrid, and Toyota is a N/A V8 with a supercapacitor hybrid. And just for good measure, Nissan builds a 3 liter gas turbo V6 mounted mid FRONT with a dual flywheel hybrid.

The totally different approaches to basically the same lap times is just awesome.
