Agreed and for that kind of racing there is no better because Le Mans, and by extension GT and endurance racing, has always been about pushing the boundaries of technology. Remember the Blower Bentleys (well you probably wouldn't, even I don't)?

These were the first to take that approach, albeit they only had a petrol engine to play with.

Think of the possibilities if you could actually afford to own a car with that proposed Jaguar power train?
