I understand this was a hint that Porsche would like to see the Hybrid-option also allowed for GT´s.

You could be right, but the quote above was in reply to a question about the possible LMP project.
What I understand, is that it is a hint to clearly define the hybrid regulations for LMP's and make them a little more bold.
I hold this opinion especially after what Michael Macht has recently said about winning Le Mans.

I agree.
But Mr. Kristen refused any comment below the above regarding the status of LMP at Porsche so an Hybrid-LMP is speculation for now, but could be the favorable way to go for Porsche.
My Interpretation below this:
Several Manufacturers have expressed that the current blue print of the Hybrid-regulations for LM is too restrictive - outlawing the existing realized prototypes of LMP´s & GTs.
Maybe Kristen expressed his wish that cars like the GT3R-Hybrid (add Gumpert-Hybrid, 908 Hy, Corsa-Zytek-Hybrid, ...) should be added to a wider specified LM-Ruleset for that kind of propulsions.
I think the discussion is underway right now.
But as nothing happens on the Hybrid Front I´m sorry as a Sportscar-fan to admit that F1 - despite skipping the Hybrid-Concept - has been more far ahead with it than the sportscar-scene in its recent state.

It wasn't earlier. Found it here first, now it's gone private.

Looked to be a private viewing of the 918, however it had an RSR badge on the back with Michelin slicks, front dive planes and other racing goodies. It was not in the "Martini" paint scheme but rather something very similar to the Porsche hybrid. Hope it re-surfaces soon.

Looked like a real racing car with all that wings and side pipe exhaust.

Production-Spec Porsche 918 Spyder Revealed at Private Showing [Video]
...blablabla...
As a visual aid, Porsche brought along the 918 RSR concept, which can also be seen in the video. You can check it out below while you wait for the 918′s public debut next year as a 2014 model.

The car with orange stripes is the original 918 RSR concept revealed in 2011 at Detroit auto show. The one that had a flywheel KERS as opposed to battery (supercapacitor?) system developed later for the road car, which is that main focus on this news story. Nothing new here on the racing front.

It should have been in G56 this year, stuff some of the future LMP Porsche tech in it to test and send it along with a works team and go at it.
