Rebellion Racing has posted the first image of its new-for-2018 LMP1 racer, dubbed the R13.
Developed by French chassis builder ORECA, it will compete for overall honours in the 2018-19 World Endurance Championship 'super season'.
The initial renders of the car in its competition livery were released during Rebellion's appearance at the Geneva Motor Show.
The Anglo-Swiss squad will enter a pair of R13s into the top category of this year's WEC, with all six drivers already confirmed.
Former Porsche factory LMP1 drivers Andre Lotterer and Neel Jani will team up with reigning LMP2 champion Bruno Senna in one car, while team regular Mathias Beche will share the sister machine with rising prototype stars Gustavo Menezes and Thomas Laurent.
The R13 has been based on ORECA's successful 07 prototype, and will be powered by a Gibson V8 engine.
It is the only upcoming LMP1 prototype that has not yet undertaken any test mileage, with Ginetta and BRE-Dallara recently gathering data for their new machines in Portugal.
Rebellion is expected to debut the car at the Prologue pre-season test at Paul Ricard on April 7th.
