Description
My first design project for this year. 
“Reinterpreting the exciting stage of 24H Le Mans race of the year 2027 by utilizing eco-friendly electric power“.
‘100% Full Electric powertrain will soon be utilized in the biggest racing event of the world’. Developed from the production EVs we have today, this racing concept is an advancement from today’s Plug-in hybrid LMP1 vehicles that showcases the power and prodigy of electric engine system.
Being reminiscent of spaceships in science-fiction media, this concept’s dynamic and sleek design is what truly makes it unique from other race vehicle concepts while meeting all the requirements/regulations of an LMP1 class vehicle. ‘Overlapping, entangled, and connectivity’ were the three keywords in the exterior design and the x-shape pillars by the cockpit assembled through multi-materialistic 3D printing technology showcases the further revolution and new methods of high-tech race car construction.

That's one awesome-looking concept! I hope it gets realized, even before 2027. Auto racing is my favorite sport, and I don't want to see it killed off for any reason.

Cool! I would fave it (or add it or something..) if only I had an Instagram account

Since this is an LMP1 car, I tended to look at this more from a technical perspective than a stylistic one. Here's what I think:
+using multi-material additive manufacturing to produce the entire structure is a great idea, and one that will definetley shake up motorsport in the coming years.
-the front end seems to be lacking down-force elements, which may reduce it's cornering limits at high speed.
+Depending on battery and motor placement, this thing should have a pretty low centre of gravity compared to the rest of the field, so that will definitely be an advantage
-a constant 25% to all corners power split is not ideal for racing in LMP1, some level of torque vectoring will be required, no matter how high the limits of mechanical grip might be in future LMP1 cars.
+re-using air passing over the front end to cool the front wheelarches, then through intakes to cool the batteries, and releasing it through "cellular" openings in the batteries sounds like a damn cool idea to me
-considering the rotational moment down-force the rear air brake might produce, and it's length, the actuation system will have to use a large amount of energy to move the air brake at speed, compared to a shorter air brake
+I love how you used the additive manufacturing premise to make a shape that's totally impossible in LMP1 today
- integral part designs, use of composites and lightweight materials, and the similar energy potency of future battery technology to fuel today will definitely make this car light, but I would call sub 900kg a bit of a stretch. 1000kg, maybe?
+100% ELECTRIC LMP1 NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!
