Quite a few GT3 cars, which are currently running in WEC... There are no GT3 cars in WEC. There is no specific GT3 class in WEC but the GTE cars are based directly off their GT3 counterparts. Manufacturers invest wildly over their GT3 cars than on their GTE counterparts. Why you ask? The major difference between the GT3 & the GTE cars are the aero kits and the electronics (assists, regen etc.). If you'hve got the setup & composition of the GT3 car down to the nail, setting up the GTE car is like deciding what color, size & nos. of cherries you want on the cake.

Fezza started with the GT3 to get out with the GTE (on paper the GTE debuted first as the 24hrs of Daytona is held on January). BMW started development on the M6 GT3 way back in 2010 to replace their Z4 GT3. It debuted in 2015 & raced in 2016. The M6 GTE debuted in 2016 shortly after but got shelved as BMW promoted the M8 GTE (which brings in the new chassis, BoP rules ensured the M6 GTE wizardy was transplanted without getting in the firing line). AM worked on the GT3 and debuted the trifecta of GT4, GT3 & GTE June 2018. There are more examples. I am not bothered anymore.
