But still, yes they are same for me also :) The switch for Porsche happened between 2016 and 2017. That's why the Am teams were able to run the "mid-engined" cars this season... Porsche don't call it mid-engined it is rear engine mounted in front of the rear axle.

The one that got switched between 2017 and 2018 was the Aston Martin. That is why the Am teams were running the Vantage GTE (naturally aspirated V8) while the Pro teams were running the Vantage AMR (twin turbo V8).
