“Is this related to F1 kers?”

I would think more likely for VW Group, to develop towards Le Mans, since they do not race in F1 now or in the recent past.

For Le Mans, they have been using advanced technology to win, including Diesel, Hybrids, etc.

For the 24 Hours of Le Mans, fuel economy matters, since they can eliminate refueling pit stops, as an example. They did that a few years back with diesel.

Kers is similar to the regenerative braking that the typical hybrid car has.

This is using suspension motion as the energy source.
