That's the problem with these new performance hybrids, whatever the power gains they bring to the table gets negated by the outrageous weight gains brought by the added hardware.
Makes me wonder whether the upcoming GT73 will have any significant performance advantage (justifiably expected with projected around 800HP) over the current GT63S.

Once again...
We see a demonstration that the E63s is the performance bargain of the century. Slap a tune on the wagon and I’ll bet it would be neck and neck if not ahead of the Porsche and you’ll have a minimum of $80,000-100,000 leftover in your pocket lol.

Yes, performance hybrids can't have it both ways.

Pure electric is the way to go. Then next Tesla: all-electric hypercar that puts out 1,914 hp!

Nice but it wouldn't last a Sunday in the canyons before looking for an AC outlet.

True, but on the positive side, this monster may catch up with your biker friends. Imagine if you are even faster than them?

If this is the case would it be worth getting AC generators and placing them strategically in the canyons.... just a thought.

It was never my intention to be faster than any one, sometimes it just happens..
The guys I know that ride bikes in the canyons know they are faster than 99.999% of the cars and drivers in the canyons and only a fool would try to out pace them.
