From VW, not. a. peep. They have their own history on Pike's Peak, but that was with the Audi GroupB rallycars, and although Audi had to leave the WEC because they used Diesel, and this car is (allegedly) using a drivetrain with some relation to the Porsche Mission E's drivetrain, it's VW that needs the PR cleanup from Diesel fumes.
And yet, they did nothing with it.

Now that they won, the info is coming out:
