"EVO" as in reference to the ACO LM P-1 ruleset is; what for about a year or year and a half now the ACO has been considering as a ruleset that would make coupes mandatory in all P-1 chassis forward and that would allow through enacting of rule(s) the ability of the major players in the auto industry to have brand recognition (grille etc.) ala GTP but not to that extent (would allow non-production cars also). They have backed off of it somewhat but have not fully scuttled the plans of yet (at least publicly) and still maintain that ther will be an ultimate low lap time of 3:30 that will be maintained by aero adjustments so IMO they will not go away totally. Many coupes are already in the works and by easing the timeline a little they allow the P-1 roadsters a full life-cycle.
And yes the Porsche is just an EVO of their car, not of the forementioned ruleset. Hope this helps in somewhat enlightening you on the subject!
