+1 on the hybrid, even if I could afford one, the current crop of hybrid supercars do nothing for me whatsoever ... 918, P1, LaF**** they can keep them ... you can get the same thrill dropping a Prius out the back of a C-130 at 35,000ft

I think that particular solution would suffer from a lot of wind noise, both outside and inside the car!

If I wanted a battery operated car I would buy one at Toys-R-Us!

Been there, nothing good can come from staying there unsupervised.

I am reminded of one of the funniest scenes from "The Hangover II" and I quote:

"Its called Bangkok not BangC*** honey"

I will say (getting back on theme) the review impressed the hell out of me! I never doubted that AP et al would deliver a better 991 than the 7.2, how much better it is however is impressive ... if I were "in the market" this *is* the car I would buy despite my preference for it to have MT, and "old" style steering with only 2 wheels etc ...

I will be happy to be passed by one on track ...

Electric stuff can be good, like Tesla is interesting.
Some electric gokarts are fun to drive.

Its just all the fakery about how it saves the planet and how its cheaper bullsh!t that annoys me.
To me weight is driving fun enemy, lighter is better. Burning fossils is still lighter.

The 918 is worse than a Prius because they lie more and its even faker.
