Electric/Gasoline 911 is Racing Laboratory

It also features a 40,000-RPM electric flywheel power generator inside the cockpit beside the driver, delivering up to 160 horsepower bursts to the front wheels for six to eight seconds, while simultaneously scaring the crap out of the driver.

Looks pretty awesome to me.

Though it certainly opens itself up to the FWD vs. RWD vs. AWD debate.

Wonder how they deal with the gyroscopic forces of the flywheel ??

Porsche drivers are used to dealing with various Newtonian forces.

Porsche 918 Hybrid Plug In Spyder Concept Introduced at Geneva

500 BHP via midship V-8 and twin electric motors. Anybody remember what the Chevy Volt looks like?





Oh yeah, forgot to mention 78 MPG

one please!

Looks like the result of inbreeding between a Ferrari 360, Carerra GT, A pontiac solstice (Dead Brands Dont Get Caps) and the middle half of a 914. Throw in a little Audi R8, and this is what happens.

The strange thing? I love it.

I wonder if that qualifies for the government hybrid rebates..........

Look at the rear. That's straight out of the 956/962 book. Ground effects venturi tunnels.
