Now that's one hybrid I wouldn't mind driving :D

The problem with most hybrid cars today is that they look like hybrids (VERY UGLY) and smug hipsters drive them "mmm I'm doing good to the planet" when in reality the many diesel cars in Europe are even more economical and very clean.

The future if you ask me, is diesel hybrids.

Germans FTW! lol

[morrarN]

At 03:45 he said "GT-R Hybrid"? Not GT3 R Hybrid..

[blp0]

Sounds like KERS?

@keith8880 Thank EA. Or more accurately, boycott EA

[DrJ2042]

[MrN3Lz]

A hybrid worth buying

[keith8880]

It's so wrong that they put granturismo 5 on the cars windshield when there is not a single Porsche in granturismo 5

[MrSukhoi25]

That looks positibly fast for a Hybrid

[exalteddemon666]

@ZeekyBoogyDoog Problem is that diesel is not suistanable, so it is not the future (far future) although a diesel hybrid is a good transition phase to the likes of using hydrogen technologies and such. Awesome car though!

Muito bom, se a Porsche aferiu às novas tecnologias então isso vai mesmo pra frente, em breve haverá um GT3 electric???

@xatzimimikos ........FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUU.

[Dataacid]

now they just need to figure out how to convert directly heat energy to elecricity and we have a 90% efficient system = )

[xatzimimikos]

@ZeekyBoogyDoog the future is u ask me, its no cars at all........

[temidget2]

[nickpsp7]

germans and their cars....

LOL I'm A RACING HIPPIE

[ZuDuka1]

how about taking the motor out of the equation have it run large flywheel generator and run 130HP (or more just an idea) motors in each wheel? e.g. 4 cyl awd electric supercar with large capacitor in the truck for boost.

[droppinsumfudge]

i wouldnt mind driving a hybrid like this if it sounded like this... i think a lot of people are avoiding hybrids today because they detract from a traditional driving experience

@HateWhatISee

but in order to get the charge, you would need to brake, and probably quite hard at that, so you wouldn't have that extra power for highway driving, where the added power would be most fun for overtaking

[GodlikeNL]

the whole hybrid thing? fine by me, just dont touch the 4.0 liter enigine in the back, dont mess with that, otherwise people like me would like to kill a few people :D

I am a fan of the gt3 RS mk 1, that car is for me, the most beautiful and sexy car EVER made.. i could make love to that huge wing on the back..

[kavakava1234]

@Pgabs123 75 mpg with a jetta diesel in mixed driving as the 40 mpg with the prius? Let me tell you, that this cannot be. I have Diesels and a Prius, i know the very good.

[kavakava1234]

All people say, hybrid makes only sense in city driving. Is this such a city car. ;)

Great work Porsche. This should make all the hybrid haters shut the fuck up.

Hybrid works here and there. It saves fuel and it powers the car up.

[Pgabs123]

@ZeekyBoogyDoog

Agreed my step mom has a prius gets 40 mpg for 35 grand, when my moms has a jetta diesel that gets 75 mpg for 20 grand. not that diesels are fun to drive tho...

[EpicHybrids]

Absolutely amazing.
