If the ACO is pressured by Toyota, Honda and Porsche to be allowed to demonstrate new technology I think you can bet that the regs for 2012/13 will reflect that. Audi and Peugot put just that sort of case for diesel and got the result they wanted.
One thing ACO would not like to see is the loss of techological leadership enjoyed by LMP over F1.

because the battery system is far more practical, cheaper and easier to implement then the flywheel system, Porche themselves are using and plan to use only the batery system even on their road 918, I could be wrong, but i seriusly doupt it
