good luck for ACO when will have to choose to please lmdh manufacturers interests or LMH ones.... it's inetivable soon or later these two "philosphies" will clash in a political conflict.
At the moment:
audi, porsche -> multimatic-porsche (lamborghini too?)
GM -> likely dallara-ECR tuned GM (rebranded as corvette lmdh?)
acura -> oreca-HPD
bmw -> ??? guess ligier big nose would fit good with bmw big grills fetishism

I just hope they aren't all anaemic turbocharged V8s. Real variety in sound is the one thing DPi 1.0 has going for it.

Don't worry, some of them are anaemic turbocharged V6s.

6 in line for BMW, I do not understand why, but the 6 in line always had better sound than the V6.

GM will likely continue on with the V8 as is their way

Acura has a turbo V6 in their pocket

Porsche/Audi/VAG others have been rumored to be TTV8 from the Cayenne, that's also me assuming one shared engine

BMW have that very nice new I6 turbo they could use

So far we could have different engine build for each car.

IIRC using an I6 as a stressed component in a prototype is a very bad idea as it's too long and narrow to withstand the forces exerted on it.

I don't believe that any stock block engines in DPI (nor the Mazda 4 banger) are being used as fully-stressed members.

A I6 on the back of an lmp2 chassis is not that easy to fit, it would be required a lot of work... it basically needs the same longitudinal room of a V12, everything further complicated by the packaging of turbo parts.
What about an updated version of the dinan tuned bmw V8 5L?
old gran-am engines were in the range of 500-520hp only because heavily restricted

They could use the M6 GT3 engine. But I hope they find a way to use the straight 6.

Well it took BMW an additional 13 hours to post effectively the same thing on their social channels. So it's doubly official. Still no press release that I can see. Want to see that WEC programme confirmed too.

Hopefully their race programme is more dialled than these comms!

a 4.4L twin turbo would be brutal, basically the closest thing to R18 amount of torque

THIS

I'm sure the rules will once again provide the conditions necessary for a variety of stock blocks (up to a certain length).

yes but loba b08/60, b09/60 and b10/60 were designed to fit a long V10 as was the judd, don't think it required a lot of work to fit also a V12.
Actual lmp2 chassis fit good for turbo V6 or NA V8 but yeah with some work guess it will be possible to fit a I6 turbo too

It was an AMR-One joke.

Remember? It had a semi-stressed turbo i6 by Cosworth, which turned out to be such a great idea.

I find it extremely tiresome to join the positivity thread and this good news be met with negativity.

It’s fine to discuss those point. Just not here. This was the place to enjoy good news - be miserable about the incoming golden age isn’t how you’d like it be elsewhere.
