Also think of the complexity involved to tune those cars.
Tuning a petrol engine is 1 thing, but I suspect the variables on a 919 hybrid are exponentially bigger if you ask me..

Then the amount of parts needed to support a team It's engine, exchaust recovery system, wheel brake generators, Liquid cooled L-Ion batteries, wheel motors, etc etc ,it's all unique and if Porsche were to sell one , the price Porsche would have to charge to support that team would be equally big as the purchase price ..

I'm pretty sure somebody at least asked Porsche, and i'm sure they did the calculation exercise and gave that somebody a quote.... at whic htime he probably had a mild coronary and mumbles, never mind, i'll find something else to do with my time.
