if you take a GT3 car that respects the chassis/engine rules and dimension limits (width, lenght, height) then remove the diffuser inserting a flat one and some other aero part, well, the car can be easily homologated as GTE, as reiter did with lp560 gt2 and bmw will do with z4 gte (forcing fia/aco to bend some rule). With the BES bop (something like 1270kg, F8cm/R9cm, 2x35mm and P.1,85) the mp4-12c gt3 was able to run 2.00.6 at silverstone, while the 2011 pole of GTE-pro was 2.01.7 (the 2012 gt qualifying were in semi-wet conditions). If i'm not wrong, the problem is that even if the engine rules have been recently changed, the mp4-12c gte should however use the stock turbo (in gt3 is allowed to use more racing parts) and you all know that isn't the best affair in a race car for endurance events. Even the evora GTE switched somehow for a cosworth NA version of their turbo toyota road engine.
