Now, this is how to do the hybrid thing
Porsche unveiled the Concept Study 918 Spyder at Geneva. It makes about 500hp from a 3.4 V8 and 218hp from electric motors. This is a gorgeous, gorgeous machine. Porsche can make even a hybrid the sex!

Does it have that electric spool up engine that stores power during braking and then is able to use it when exiting a turn?
If so I hope they got that stupid 40k rpm thing OUT of the cockpit. If that thing came apart you would be in 40k+ parts....lol
It looks sweet but we shall see if it ever comes to volition.
BTW....we drive Corvettes. They are hybrids. They burn gas and rubber.

Burning Brakes
I love it! There are so many possibilities out there with hybrid technology, I like seeing manufacturers go after the performance side of it as well.
