I'm surprised that it doesn't have an open cockpit like the other prototypes. Isn't that a rule? If not, don't you think that they might have an aero advantage with the closed cockpit?
I just watched the video and it sounds a little like a Peterbuilt. 
I guess they aren't going for the no noise (no smoke, no smell) thing that Audi did with their TDI Diesel.

I think in a year or two they all have to be close in AMLS. They probably didn't want to design a car for a short period.

Looks much better painted.
The rules are going to close cockpit in 2010
Soon there will be no more open cockpit cars at LeMans.
BTW here's a page on the changes in aerodynamics over the years

Bentley is beautiful, guess that is why I liked the Peugeot. Great Bently picture
They have certain desin criteria to run at LeMans to prevent flips like the benz did.
I just read the article nice reading Brian
250 MPH at night at LeMans is crazy
