Lose the batteries and electric motors and how much weight will you save?? Plus complexity will decrease and reliability will improve.

Maybe exchange the V8 for a lighter 4L flat 6 TT. Or otherwise spend the dollars saved on killing the hybrid portion and further lighten the internals of the engine and the car.

Now that would be killer.

Center console looks like new Mclaren.

That looks awesome, but I hope it is not the next CGT. I am sad that everyone is going all green. I doubt there would be manual as well if there is a hyrbrid drivetrain (as I have yet to see one?) That would be epic fail. I am not holding my breathe hoping it has a nice cgt whine, either.

Backside draws its inspiration from this to me:



I love this concept, styling, interior, electronic insanity, all of it. E-BOOST!

It might not have a battery pack.. could be using the same mechanical KERS system from the GT3 R-Hybrid.

So, a kick ass V8 along with 3 electric motors assisting. The only extra weight here *could be*... more motors.

Woooow! That is some awesome technical step Porsche has taken to create their new supercar! Looks pretty awesome as well. Go fück yourself Toyota Prius, G-wiz etc, this is how you do it. Power and efficiency plus it looks stunning

Need to see this thing lined up next to a CGT. It looks quite a bit smaller.
