The Hyper-Hybrids...
Discussion
So it seems we're on the cusp of a new age of electric powered/assisted super/hypercars!
Whilst we wait for the full releases and the all important group tests, which have your keenest interest? Both in tent pitching and for the engineering/choice of drivetrain? Whilst of course only three contenders remain, Jaguars stillborn effort is so close to the finished article I thought it was fitting to include that as well.
One vote for looks, one for tech. Some cheeky snaps and stats to help!
And of course what else do you think of this new breed, and who does everyone think will come out on top?

Rear electric motor, with 2 additional front electric motors which have their own gearbox that decouples after 146mph.
5 Modes: E-Power; Fully electric with 15m range, Hybrid; Combines all motors for maximum fuel economy, Sport-Hybrid; Primarily uses V8 and kicks in electric power at high throttle, Race-Hybrid; Primarily uses V8 but ECU's integrate electric motors at full power wherever possible, Hot-Lap; As previous but unlocks reserves in the batteries to provide optimum electric power, which runs out entirely after 2-3 laps.
Active Aero (slats in front grille, rear wing).
