guess it's possible, also because current f1 v6 lifespan is about 5000km, not to consider that to reach 670-700hp it would need to rev lower than usual 12000rpm.
"Little" problem is that the v6 alone should cost like 4-5 hypercars...
Anyway, I think LM and endurance in general isn't appealing enough for mercedes, they entered FE because it's a cheap championship with FIA status and great worldwide coverage but it seems they got tired of that as well. Considering also that unlike ferrari that has a great LM/endurance heritage and despite great days back in late'80 with sauber cars, mercedes at LM is remembered mainly for tragedies and epic fails.
