Hypercars that look like cars, not spaceships, racing at Le Mans. This news has greatly interested the boss of Sweden"s premier hypercar builder, Christian von Koenigsegg. He told TopGear.com: "This is great. We"re so excited by it. What I"ve understood is the final regulations are not finished yet, but we"re looking at them very closely." When the news was announced in June, the FIA said the top tier cars would have to feature hybrid drivetrains, with KERS up front and all-wheel-drive to ensure energy efficiency. The choice of combustion engine is open to each entrant, but the aim is for the class to be homologated.
