Some suggest it would be a more expensive option than using a Bentley GT3 version of an Audi-derived V8. But were those old LMP2 really that expensive to buy and run?

And I think it's better to look at it as a Bentley GT3 V8 vs old MR6 V8, rather than Cayenne V8 road engine or 918 road engine, as Porsche is unlikely to start over, when there already are proven race engines that are related.

Of course, this is provided Weissach and its suppliers still have all that's necessary to re-start production of MR6 over a decade later without much extra investment.
