Is it just me or does the 90X have rear wheels on the front, a la Acura's defunct P1 car?

not exactly the same, I think this is some small rear tyres at the front of the 90X (basically the one currently used in petrol P1, diesel's one are bigger). It remind me Porsche 911 GT3R Hybrid which have some bigger front wheel than classical GT3R because of electronical-motor. There is no interest on having some big front wheel at Le Mans...it gonna sucks at Mulsanne straight.

Choice of fuel doesn't dictate the tyre size. It's same for all P1s.

nop, regulation gives some maximum size but some LMP1 aren't using the same rear wheel

Indeed, there is a maximum size but there is no minimum size.

Max diameter is 28.5 inches and max width 16 inches (LMP2 respectively 28 inches / 14 inches).

Confirmed in the press release that rear tyres == front tyres. And that it's not ready for Sebring, instead R15 "plus plus" will be used there.

Ugly as a pig in shit. I love it.

The sharkfin falls down towards the rear wing, much like the Renault F1 F-Duct of this year.

also, see the clever use of the swan neck RW support.




and now compare to the pug's

There are some things in the rules that almost specifically forbid F-ducts.

I wasn't aware that Audi is in charge of building the next Batmobile...

I like it. Yeah fine, not the prettiest thing you will see, but IMO prototypes should look like that; big, mean, advanced, "on steroids" like deggis said.
