The V4 Turbo engine makes around 500 to 550 hp and the electric motors contribute to 250 to 300 hp.
The team has driven 1040 Km.
Not sure google translated this right but this last bit of info is scary; they reckon they are around 10 seconds too slow to be competitive!!! Are they serious?
Any one speak German can tell me if it's right?
Yes, you are right. But nobody knows its real pace and time. So I don't think you should worry now) Only the first race will show the real pace;)

Nobody should expect any serious results from porsche this year, trust me
Come on, Audi's been at it for the past 12 years and this year the Toyota will be extremly strong, what did people expect?
You can't just show up after 16 years of absence in LMP1 and expect to do well. Give them one or two seasons.
No one more than me would like to see Porsche win, I reckon 2016 should be a good target.
First: Congratulation Futch for this year's ACO invite to Le Man's.It's good to see you racing in a Porsche again.
Second: I have decided to postpone my trip to Le Mans precisely because I do not want to see just a Porsche LMP1 car competing at Le Mans, but I want to see a Porsche victory. I don't think I could handle the disappointment if I made the long trip and did not see them win.
Third: I have lowered my expectations and now just hope that they finish the race and are not blown away by Audi and Toyota.
Thanks. It will be an interesting season indeed. 8 races around the world including Le mans of course. We decided to go for the 997 RSR, much cheaper than the 991 and given the fact I only have two full seasons behing me, no point going for the superior package, yet...
But If I may, even if you're a Porsche fan and want to see them win, you should still come to Le Mans if you can, it's a race like no other! And this year promises to be spectaculer, in all categories.
