Of course this is no prius:

There are some cool looking and high performing hybrid supercars, but I'm just not sure that hybrid tech really improves supercars. They could have just made a 900hp IC-only vehicle and saved lots and lots of weight and complexity. They would be better sportscars.

But, I'm sure the push towards this sort of thing will drive new tech that will trickle down to pedestrian hybrid cars, and that makes it worthwhile.

I think hybrid tech is pretty cool, better than pure electric. I haven't kept up with it, but I assume most require the IC for propulsion at times. It would be nice if they could get to the point that the IC was purely for power generation.

If I had silly money, would I buy a 918, maybe. But probably not until after I had a CGT. Who knows, I'd need to test drive both first, and I don't think anyone would let me behind the wheel of either.
