I find it hard to visualise what cars will look like in the flesh when they're livery-less and drawn like this.
I think it looks nice, but I could be wrong. |

Well we can be pretty sure it won't have those light clusters, although I'd love to be wrong.

I don't think this rendered car's tub and even dimensions conform to 2014 regs! It's probably a CAD model of the Oreca's still-born coupe with or without minor changes. And there's a clear influence of Peugeot 908, including a closed front diffuser, which is likely go out of fashion due to new P1 regs effectively allowing a 'front wing'.

Also the roll structure at the back doesn't look like 2014-spec and I'd be surprised if the car isn't 2000mm wide. |

Sounds like they might have used a render of the stillborn Oreca LMP coupe project for this release. So the actual car might/probably will look rather different than this render.
edit Like the guy a bit above said.... |

Then again, the question doesn't ask "is the R-One render..." |

Update on the Rebellion R-One by Marshall Pruett: http://www.racer.com/rebellion-r-one...rticle/312074/
The project is on schedule, but the car will only roll out in mid March 2014. |

Indeed, very good article.
Interesting and probably sensible level of expectation management in there too - not underplaying the complexity of the task while at the same time indicating the longer term planning behind the project, making it clear it's about a lot more than just 2014. |

Wonder who else's engine they would run in the future if not Toyota? Judd? HPD? Maybe... Nissan?

I found it interesting that they were thinking of making the new chassis a P2 option as well. I like this idea, although I don't know how they would get the price down. Would be good to see them in the uscc though. |

The first rumors was they was going to be the HPD team in 2014.
Behind the close doors it fell apart because they wanted their own chassis not Wirths(at that time HPD deal was a complete package)but now with ERS delayed a year and no solid bites on the Wirth Coupe, Honda will lease the powertrain only now with ERS in 2015. |

From their words they seemed to go with Oreca because its bespoke. They also mentioned the Dome and Perrinn, but didn't go with either. Imo, the DOME is probably the best option out there, but its not their own. And they spoke about the logistics being an issue. So where did the HPD option come from?

It's really good to hear Rebellion are still ploughing on with this project.
Me and many others (including sportscar media) got wrapped up in the dream of having all these new privateer P1s around next season. Increasingly it doesn't seem it will match up to expectations. I think at R1 of the WEC next year, best case we'll get 2+2+2 manufacturer cars, 2x Rebellion, 1x HPD, 1x Oak = 10 P1s. That's compared to 7 this year - so it's still growth. But like I say I believe that to be best case. |

I think that is being well optimistic not even sure that the 3 manufacturers will each field 2 cars in the opening round

Revert the championship points system to the way it was before Case: Peugeot (two/both cars count), and I bet they will.
