ACO doesn't wanna go there, GT/GT+ sounds like another mix of the GTE/GT3 BoP formula when you listen what manufacturers have said. They have target lap times for prototypes so they're don't speed them up too much, yet they (unfortunately) want to regain the gap to the GTs -> so I doubt the power levels will be increasing...

Eh, I think - at least in terms of raw engine power - some GT3 aren't too far away from where GT1 used to be... Audi is at a "factory-rated" 570bhp, so it's probably gonna be quite a bit more than that and the bodykits seemed to get wider every year as well until the this year's tech-freeze.
BoP vs development based is of course another question, but getting the horsepower back alone would be a big step in the right direction.
Come to think of it, maybe they could use (some) GT3-engines for my hypothetical P2+...
