Performance Hybrid idea(s)

So tell me if I am wrong here...........
To build a proper road going Hybrid you would likely need computer control to have a smooth transition from Combustion engine to electric and back.
So what about applications where smooth NVH are an non issue.
Say off road trails or drag racing? My idea would be small individual wheel motors at front or rear hubs depending on the vehicle in question.
Just a off the line amount of power the propel the car say just at the starting line in a drag race or to get up a steep incline off road.
Just day dreaming...............
