There's not too much to say about Jens M. (legoexotics) creation in terms of details but to agree this is one of the most detailed and accurate LEGO models around.
A Le Mans Prototype (LMP) is the type of sports prototype race car used in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, FIA World Endurance Championship, WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, European Le Mans Series and Asian Le Mans Series. Le Mans Prototypes were created by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The technical requirements for an LMP include bodywork covering all mechanical elements of the car.
The first use of what would become Le Mans Prototypes was at the 1992 24 Hours of Le Mans.
While not as fast as open-wheel Formula One
cars, LMPs are the fastest closed-wheel racing cars used in circuit
racing. Le Mans Prototypes are considered a class above production-based
grand tourer cars, which compete alongside them in sports car racing
Modern LMP designs include hybrid cars that use electric motors to assist acceleration. The Le Mans Prototype LMP1 class will be replaced by Le Mans Hypercars in the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans from the 2020–21
season, but LMP1 cars will be eligible to be "grandfathered" for one
final season, to compete alongside the new class for the 2020–21 season.
