Well by the same token I think that Audi were guilty of that a bit with the aero of their R10. It seems to me that they were more interested in making it look like the spawn of an R8 rather than being revolutionary in any way. They knew they were going to have a massive engine advantage for the next few years and so did not need to alter their styling radically.
As for the R15, I'm sure their "Basking Shark" front end will go a little more conservative for Le Mans to be a bit less of a parachute down the Mulsanne.
