x10 is an exaggeration perhaps but just consider that toyota GRSS will use the same bespoke and F1tech comparable powertrain and hybrid system of TS050... consider that also the carbon monocoque is a custom TMG design...
now just think that to field and run a dpi is currently cheaper than run a GTLM program... just to say that the only toyota V6TT should cost like 3 or 4 dpi chassis.... that's why hypercar is pure madness if toyota will have to spend all that cash to run in the same performance window of much cheaper lmdh that basically will be a mild hybrid dpi+
