LaFerarri

McLaren P1

Porsche 918

Acura NSX

BMW i8

All of the above are performance cars that utilize "light hybrid" technologies to enhance performance. Three of these cars are considered the "Holy Trinity" in terms of performance of all production cars, ever.

I think the Porsche has an emissions rating less than the 911 models, yet 870-some hp. Most of them are rated at around 50mpg or more.

Is this done to appease the "green" people in politics, and meet CAFE standards? Well, yeah probably....but bear in mind that F1 uses a light hybrid system (KERS) to store energy during braking for a torque boost in the next corner exit...the technology does have a raw performance benefit...

This is the future of automotive performance, folks. Brace for it. It's going to be utterly fantastic!
