Yeahh... I knew someone that had a hybrid once and when the batteries when out, the total cost of parts and labor was more than what the car was worth lol.

That's why Tesla has to warranty their batteries for Unlimited Mileage, else they wouldn't sell any.

I feel hybrid technology is not optimized enough to put into an entry level sports car. hybrid system in a prius works well because its designed to be eco, and hybrid system in a p1 or 918 work well because it is highly advanced (and expensive) technology and purely for performance. if Nissan were to make a hybrid Z, their priority with the system will be to make the car more efficient, not necessarily to perform to maximum potential.

Nissan has what looks like is going to be the most successful electric car lineup in the world. It makes sense that they can put a cheap and reliable hybrid component into their sports cars. Torque-fill FTW!

Not interested, not buying.

Z + Hybrid + mid-engine + twin turbo = mini mclaren p1

On what planet does a GTR come with 800hp from the factory?

I think he meant to say the future GTR which will be getting hybrid technology will make 800 hp from the factory

Here are the new supra details and while I'm not thrilled about it I can see nissan going the same direction.

Sports hybrids/electric cars are on the horizon it seems... lets see what is on the market (and the price) in 2017.

This planet...next gen

I fixed it for you. I hope they don't drug test where you work ;)

Hey, a man can dream can't he? :tup:

Yes, except the average user couldn't afford to buy a Porsche either.

The Nissan 2020 Concept on GT6 is in fact a hybrid. It makes use of regenerative braking as well. The car hits 170 mph quickly then creeps up past 200 steadily. A hint for future power bands? We shall see... :stirthepot: :driving:
