Buddy, I own race cars and I drive in the R8 GT4 cup series and Blancpain GT.

I know that it is not anywhere close to the street car but a M8 GTE or GT3 class requires at lease 30-40% parts sharing, including engine block, basic aero dynamics, coefficient of drag, etc.

So if you start your design with a big touring car, it will never be as competitive - but regardless - even if it was competitive - it beckons the question whether a 8-series owner or buyer would appreciate racing pedigree of the car? I highly doubt so.
