Hmm... who’s that Pokemon?

The front wing is of a different shape than anything I’ve seen at IMSA before... but I believe I’ve seen such a 2-lobe design before. The rear fenders suggest GT, but the flat top seems to be a play on perspective, so I think it’ll be a Prototype car.

The front fenders, however, aren’t something I would associate with Proto immediately, and the side mirrors look more conventionally-mounted.

What do you make of it? If this is GT, then which one?

Gap in the front splitter and tall rear wing, its the Porsche. The height of the wing plane hides the double bubble.

NSX for GTD?

I don’t think so. And we’ve seen the NSX GT3 already—what’s the point of teasing it like that?

the livery? lol you’re right. Not sure what this is.... finger’s crossed for BMW Z5 or Scuderia James Glickenhaus!!

Glick’s car? No, that’s VLN, and if he entered that in IMSA it’d be in Proto, which is EXPENSIVE even for a rich guy like Señor Glick.

The Z5? Who knows? Not sure if the M6 platform was sustainable, but I’d be surprised if BMW can get that turbo I6 to around 600hp for GTE.
