The details were tweaked once more for the big show at Le Mans.
The Le Mans tail differed from what was run at Sebring (below) in length and shape.
The Sebring shape was longer and didn't have the horizontal strakes.
The Le Mans version's fender shape was very different than the Sebring variant though more similar to the debut variant.

Proper turbo intake ducts finally replaced the surface mounted NACA intakes present on the debut and Sebring versions.
