BMW M6 2016 = 1,37 meters or (54,1")
Bentley Continental GT = 1,40 meters (55″)
The Main diference is the Height...
Did anyone have the "race car´s" figures?!?!?

The silhouette shown in the image seems to be an M6 somewhat flattened and elongated. Maybe 1.32 and 5.00 meters more or less.
Equally the race versions of these sedans are much lower than the street versions, therefore I do not think the height is so problematic.
The length should be a big advantage in Le Mans, allowing a better Top speed and a large diffuser. The long tail cars were successful cars at Le Mans, the GT1 of the end of 90's (Porsche GT1 98, Mc Laren GTR long tail, Mercedes CLK GTR, Toyota GT1) were in 4.90 meters more or less.
