Looks great...I still find it to be such a big car with such a high roof line...come on Porsche lower, wider, shorter (with the same wheelbase).

They are quite limited by the rules to what they can do to the car.
If they built a road going version (or rather 250 road going versions) that was lower, wider and shorter then they could homologate it and race it.

I could be wrong but the Article 2.1 says;
"For any racing car produced, the manufacturer must prove the production of at least 3 road cars."

Perhaps it is now different in 2008/09?

This is the ACO's regulations: (the 250 is being talked about for the future rules)

ART. 2 - GRAND TOURING CAR "LM" GT2
2.1 - Eligibility :
2.1.1 - ACO is the only authority to judge the eligibility of a "LM"
GT2 car.
2.1.2 - Eligibility criteria of a "LM" GT2 Grand Touring car are
made out by the ACO.
2.1.3 - The "LM" GT2 Grand Touring car must meet a minimum
of the following criteria :
a/ To be regularly produced by a manufacturer
approved by ACO ;
• A regular production implies a permanent
implementation of the means required to
produce a minimum of 1 car per week for the
"big manufacturers" and one car per month
to the "small manufacturers". If the
production is not respected, the ACO will
suspend the homologation of the car the year
after. The suspension of the homologation
will cease once the production delay has
been made up. It will be permitted to
compete with the car as soon as a minimum
of 100 road cars for the "big manufacturers"

and 25 road cars for the "small
manufacturers" will be produced.

Lower? It already looks like it could scrape bubble gum off the parking lot.
