It seems possible that the ACO will be moving towards this kind of thing for its GT class in the future, a sort of modified GT3 car/Gt3 based car, so manufacturers dont need to build an entirely new car. But also far enough away from GT3 so that it dosent seem like the ACO has simply stolen SRO's GT3 category.
Once homologated, it is a GTE car. What difference does it make where the starting point was? So they took a GT3 car and made it a GTE car... still the result is a GTE car. The other option is to take a road car, and make it a GTE car....
