They will likely adapt this technology in future road going sports cars, until then, its an extremely expensive exercise that's not guaranteed to produce any viable benefits. You're adding power, but the system itself adds weight a lot of unknowns to the car. A system similar to the one used in F1 could cost more than the our car considering the F1 gearbox run north of $130k each. There are easier and cheaper ways to add 80-100hp in 6 second spurts.
