So I agree that the car we see now will not be the same car at Le Mans (although it may look the same.)

Absolutely - these things are always a constant evolution. Good point about LeMans - that race demands a unique set of body work. The point being made was that the Geneva car is a test mule used only for the unveiling - the "real" car is supposed to be much different.
