It seems thus clear that the IRS was planned, but not fitted, since the 400 ex. run never took place, and Group 4 homologation never granted to the V8. If an experimental IRS was ever built is not said, but reasonable reading of the text suggests it wasn't.
Thanks for sharing your infos about Reif's single V8 built and the whereabouts of the other GTV V8s.

This also means that the part about the IRS in KB by Hugense is'nt true ?
