Except it's a 2017 model I believe. So technically it's not a production car yet.

That looks bad ass. I think the GT blowing by the prancing horse at the end of video was a shot at Ferrari. lol

I know its a different racing series but ... Nascar let Chevy run the SS for pretty much an entire season before the car hit showrooms. My guess is, the various governing bodies are slightly more relaxed today than they used to be a few decades ago.

If I understand the rule correctly, the car just has to be in production, they don't have to have sold the 100 units yet.

Yep, similar to when Porsche was coming back to the LMP1 class when Audi showed up at Porsche's door in the commercial, always nice to see big companies go at it.

Buuuut...I don't think it's in production yet?

Did the car actually run this weekend?

EDIT: It's for next year's season. It should be in production or almost ready so it's kosher.
