That Porsche gets a seriously large amount of boost from its electric motor , 280hp of electric boost to pick up the slack from its meager 600hp gas engine.
Its technology will make it into a Audi in about 4 years then 4 years later VW will have it in say a Golf S hybrid.

Peel away the hype, labels, and the price, which probably exceeds my wifes and my own lifetime total earnings and you have this.

Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now make this battery reasonably cost effective and you have a real electric car, no new tech chemical batteries needed, quickly rechargeable, and almost infinite life expectancy, just not affordable.

But we can dream, right?

The flywheel sounds reasonable to make Mechanic just need a pump to make that vacuum and Zing have the rotor motor spinning like mad in no time, according to the diagram..actual use may vary.

They sure are getting lazy with the front end designs...

How so?

I like that the exhaust ports are on the back of the headrests. I guess that's why the back window doesn't roll down.

Want one? Sure, but I won't be holding my breath. I think I could duplicate that color with Titanium Pearl over Real Aluminum Plastidip.

Plug-in hybrid MPG values based on NEDC are but a scam, obtained by doing most of the pretty short NEDC on electricity, which simply won't happen in real life.

IRL, you'd get nowhere near these values.

Sorry, but cars don't kill people. Idiots driving beyond their ability use cars to kill themselves.

That would be fine if they didn't kill innocent bystanders in the process.
