You'd rather have X-hundred pounds of extra weight added, rather than a lightweight turbocharger?

not too mention that the extra torque you are getting from the x-100's lbs of battery and electric motors will only last you a couple of laps or so before you exhaust them ....

give me a blower over a battery anytime ...

But it's still in addition to those ***+ seats (which are quite amazing, by the way).

I'm old school -no matter how efficient hybrid is, or how enticing the torque is etc ... my cars only have a 12v battery, and the only electric motors are those that start the car, or drive the wipers etc...

I'm not against the technology, I just don't think it's ready yet. One day probably not that far in the future we'll be able to add substantial front wheel power with little added weight in motors or battery. When that day comes, every Carrera will be a Turbo4
