Something here just don't add up for me. It's about a Le Mans racer which was replaced by a european team (how can a car be replaced by a team? I understand that a team can ditch a car and use another, but I can't make anything of that sentence). The race car had a road version, which lost a lot of "value" when the race version disappeared, but got it all back when the car was reincarnated, although it was milder than the old version.

I still can only think of the Ford GT as a reasonable solution to this. Whenever this riddle is done, @FilipinoGTUser1, I want you to explain each and every step to us in the way you'd explain it to a 3-year old 👍
 
This is definitely got to be a SRT motors/ Dodge/Chrysler marque.

Why?

Dodge came first with a LM car back in the 90's, in which it had 3 successive careers from 1998-2000.
And, now in 2013, the SRT viper has an entry in Le Mans, and as said previously, the Dodge Viper was originally a wild, yet ruthless vehicle back then, and now, it is tamer than it was back in the 1990s due to government controls.

So, according to all of those said above, it has to be the following.

Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept' 00
SRT Viper GTS' 13
Dodge SRT10 ACR' 08
Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe' 06
 
Possible, but I'm not even sure if we're looking for the old or the new car? The way I read the hints it could be both, perhaps slightly more toward the old..

Viper GTS '99?
 
Wait, I'm having a thought!

Corvette C5-R '00, Z06 LM '06 or ZR1 LM '09?

The Corvette had earlier appeared in the GT class, until at some point there was no more/little racing for them. Around the change of millennia, all of a sudden, the Corvette C5-R appeared on international circuits. The C5-R lived life in the Corvette Racing team until the mid-'00s, in which most were sold to privateer teams, most notably the Belgian Selleslagh Racing Team, PSI Experience and Luc Alphand Aventures (French).

If that's it, I'll have to P.O. Gonna zZzZz..

Edit: that moment you realise they had all been guessed..

Nissan R90CP' 90
 
Mazda6 Touring Car?
Mazda Atenza Touring Car?
Nissan R390 Road Car '98?

Guys! Good news! Got it narrowed down! It's a MAZDA! The Mazda 787B is the only Japanese car to ever win the 24h of Le Mans, entered by the Mazdaspeed Team! The R26B engine used in it was a prominent 4-rotor Wankel engine which was used only in the 787, 787B and, later, the RX-792P. The latter car itself is based on the Mazda RX-7 (RX-7 1992 Prototype hence the name: RX-792P).

Guesses:
- RE Amemiya AMEMIYA ASPARADRINK RX7 (JGTC) '04
- RE Amemiya Amemiya AsparaDrink RX7 (SUPER GT) '06
- Mazda RX-7 LM Race Car
- Mazda RX-7 Touring Car

Source: "The R26B engine would be used by Mazda in its Mazda RX-792P for its premier IMSA GTP category with limited success. The engine continued to be used in the GTS category, for the spaceframe FD3S RX-7 which would return to Le Mans in 1994, backed by Mazdaspeed." (Wikipedia)

Perhaps one of the most accurate explanations of all @urbanite9, But RE-Amemiyas were powered by a 20B and 13B-series engines, respectively, not the R26B.

But, @FilipinoGTUser1's hint saying 24 and 4 may result into this equation.

4n=24
N=6
4(6)=24
Remove 4 from ones' place, and add the 'N' number on the ones' place will result on the number 26

26= engine code, 2.6 Litres
Only Japanese LMP that has a 2.6 L displacement: Mazda 787B

Clue on 4= the amount of rotors/pistons the car has, but hardly any Japanese LMP's have a 2.6 4-cylinder engines, so, it has to be a rotary engine.

The only rotary engine that has 4 rotors, and has a displacement of 2.6L: Mazda R26B, so, according to his conclusions and theories, @urbanite9 should get the answer.
