The car clearly is relatively similar to it's regulatory incarnation. I have no doubt that Porsche could have taken it even further than they did. The modifications are not THAT extreme. They clearly wanted to "evolve" the design. To show what could be done with the platform. At the same time it keeps it's roots.

It's a marketing gimmick by Porsche. This car won Le Mans and it is faster than an F1 car. Unless you follow motorsport, who is to know.
