Porsche in LMP1!?

The italian magazine Autosprint has published a new about the return of the Porsche in LMP1 class, with a new prototype based (but this is just a supposition) on the RS Spyder, according to the future rules. Following the article, this new is for sure, and at Weissach are working on the future engine: petrol V8 DFI based technology. The car would be launched in 2010, to compete in 24 Hours of Le Mans, ALMS and LMS. The car will be an open roof, at the same way of the Spyder. This could explain why the Porsche has introduced the new DFI technology on the actual V8 3,4 litre of its sport car. The return of the Porsche in P1 changes all the plains for Audi, Peugeot and Acura. The long history of the Porsche in this kind or competition is legend, and it will mean a very hard challenge for all the opponents. After all, with RS Spyder LMP2 class car, they have showed to be competitive from the first race!
