What makes it tick? A racing V-8 with 563 horsepower and a 10,300 r.p.m. redline is mated to dual electric motors that drive the front wheels, for a combined, crushing 767 horsepower. The Porsche soaks up kinetic energy from its rotating wheels and converts it to electricity in a flywheel accumulator, an evil-looking contraption that sits next to the driver and spins at more than 36,000 r.p.m. The pilot pushes a button to call up the stored energy, providing up to eight seconds of electric boost for acceleration or passing; consider it a hot-rodder’s nitrous-oxide system, but on a billionaire’s budget.
