For sure, depends how it's done. Maybe something like KERS is ok but would prefer on 911 they go Ferrari route and focus on aerodynamics, lighter materials and making the current engines more efficient etc..

I agree, maybe that's part of the reason why they are quoting 32.5 mpg combined for the 911 S (?) considering an old 4S is about 27.5

But i think the 918 above is a battery hybrid rather than KERS braking type system.
