2020 GT3 Breaks Down --> is it from hybrid drivetrain?

Standalone electric still sucks due to all the weight. Even my lowly tuned manual T does 60-130 almost a second faster than a P100D (9.5 vs 10.5ish) even though it would hand me my *** in the 1/4 mile. Gt3 is more like 2 sec faster with pdk vs p100D. In fact, 60-130 for a model 3 performance is over 13 seconds! Believe dat!!! Regular people confuse quickness with fast. On the other hand if Porsche could add a buttload of tq for a couple hundred pounds would you say no? Tough call

Im sure hey will offer a 6spd... Porsche listened
Electric cars, and electrification in ultra high-end sports cars coming out from Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, and Rimac/Tesla is rapidly accelerating. Of the many here that own a Tesla, regardless of everything else, have had an eye-opening experience with the advantages of immediate torque. It would seem really really really archaic to have the 2020 GT3 battle out in this rapidly evolving new reality without some technological innovation involving hybrid/kers. The situation will be worse come 2025 where a pure n/a GT3 will be even more outdated power plant-wise no matter what they do to the venerable flat-6. Of course maybe they can innovate even more and come up with a 10K rpm engine that puts out 600hp and is reliable etc. etc. Time will tell, but I suspect when the first really good electric sports cars (not sporty sedan) comes out everyone's expectations will be shattered. If a mid-range model 3 performance sedan can do as well as it does against conventional sports sedans (M3/C63/Giulia QV) then imagine what a dedicated well designed sports car with battery technology from 5 years from now will do ....
