The question isn’t so much how, as why? Sure, ignore regulations and you can make a car go faster. I shudder to think how quickly a rules-free F1 car could lap Spa. You have to wonder how much this cost Porsche.
Apparently not much at all. They're using the same car as last year and the upgrades are partially from the scheduled ones for this year's (would be) wec campaign. So the extra stuff like the stiffer suspension, new aero parts, brake by wire upgrades etc are coming from a portion of what Porsche had allotted for this year, but they quit. Now most of the team is working on the Formula E program.
