83 u/Rokexe Jun 15 '24 They can literaly get the V6 engine Nissan used for DPI in IMSA a few years ago. Apline is basically brothered to Nissan. I still dont understand why they chose Mechachrome. 16 u/FirstReactionShock Jun 15 '24 that engine sucked as well, alpine should consider using the compact V8 5.6L that nissan used in gt-r gt1 1 u/fireinthesky7 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 #24 Jun 16 '24 Something about using an LMP3 engine in a Hypercar doesn't entirely sit right. 6 u/FirstReactionShock Jun 16 '24 what this suppose to mean? The racing tuned gt-r gt1 engine had already >600hp despite restrictors. The lmp3 version is just the stock road engine
