I think it's obvious at this point that the 2016 bodywork won't be the same....some obvious changes will have to happen at the rear.

Seems like the key elements they banged on about in the videos seem to be fading.

Wasn't running a thinner tyre due to weight been more front biased. Maybe the batteries will be further back, effecting weight shift resulting in need for more rear grip.

Also the narrow tyres made it possible to widen the rear diffuser which they won't be able to exploit as much.
