The first sign that I got though that this category was going to be a let down was the reveal of the ByKolles "hypercar" last year.
Playing devils advocate here a bit, but haven't road going hypercar or surpercar projects been trending towards looking more and more like lmp cars over the years? So we shouldn't really be surprised that an even more extreme version of this (LMH) looks like a prototype.
