Personally, I think that these cars should never have been more complex than the 2003 Bentley Speed 8 or a 2011-13 Audi R18 with a gasoline engine and a small hybrid system.
Or, if you prefer, a DPI car with more development freedom, no spec chassis, and the ability to run a 2-3.5MJ hybrid if one wanted to primarily as a range extender rather than a go faster button.
Also, such cars could be run by privateers fairly easily and even factory teams for pennies on the dollar.
