Their hybrid system wasn't running at Le Mans, I just wonder if they could have ever gotten it working, what would it have done?

Under the rules package you had different categories of allowed engine performance vs the hybrid power train. While Audi chose the highest engine and weakest hybrid, Nissan did the opposite.

Without it's hybrid systems working on top of the engine the car was down a few hundred horse power on its Audi competition.

And yet down the Mulsane it was able to hold steady with the prototypes, the reduced drag really was there.

Through the Porsche curves it was decent, it struggled off of Arnage.

The bespoke V6 had vibration issues, the hybrid system didn't work, what if the concept had been better executed?
