LaFerrari(F70)
#36
I have to disagree. the 918 is very very advanced. In fact it might me even more advanced than both the McLaren and the ferrari. If not its equal. Read up on it a bit more and I think you'll see what I mean

Hybrid features:
918: plug-in, batteries rechargeable by engine while moving, an additional motor driving the front wheels making the car AWD, EV range = 16 miles
F70: non-plug-in, batteries rechargeable by engine while moving, no EV mode
P1: plug-in, batteries rechargeable by engine only when stopped, EV range = 6.2 miles
Weight:
918: 3,748lbs (seriously?)
F70: 2,766lbs
P1: 3,075lbs
Power:
918: 823hp
F70: 963hp
P1: 903hp
So the 918 seems to have the best hybrid system but is also the heaviest (by far) and least powerful of the bunch. I'll probably take the Ferrari myself just for the weight savings alone.

The P1 does use regenerative braking to recharge its batteries. Seems that the F70 is superior in that it can also recharge the batteries with excessive engine output, whereas the P1's engine can only recharge the batteries in a generator mode, requiring the car to be fully stopped first.

Ferrari doesnt have batteries, thats why it is lighter so much... its flywheel hybrid.

"battery can be charged either by the electric motor on deceleration or via a wall plug stored in the luggage compartment."
You do know what regenerative braking is right?

"It consists of a 6.3-liter V12, two electric motors, and a 132-pound battery pack mounted to the floor."

(Regenerative braking wasn’t employed to avoid degradation of brake feel.)
I am assuming they basically use it as larger alternator while slowing down, taking kinetic energy but not using it for actual braking while charge mode lets engine recharge it, like in Prius.
info is really scattered around the place and official website has nothing smart... same for ferrari, one of the sites said no batteries at all... but as it has small batteries, it means it can get boost for loner and more often than kers system in F1.
