I have read an interesting article about the car's Le Castellet debut in a german magazine. There's is mentioned that Prodrive chose the R6 concept because the small width of the engine create for possible space for the aero of the car. I have my doubts if this is such an improvement compared to the disadvantages of such an engine like higher vibrations and the non-stressed installation which required a subframe.
It is also speculated that AMR opted for the open top route simply for money reasons. They don't have to develop doors and wipers and such things and save so money.
Also interesting that an engineer is mentioned that followed the cars performance at Paul Ricard and noticed that the car moves up and down for a too long time after passing a curb. " This problem can not be simply solved by damper adjustments" Much room for speculations
