That's like people mixing their Gin with Diet Schweppes to limit the energy-intake, same stupidity but this is what goes when people can't do the math for themselves. When you examine the energy-xchange, an engineer will easily find that the whole hybrid-thing is simply a marketing-gimmick, just like if you compare the 400 kJ per lap of last years KERS-farce with the 34 200 kJ energy-content in one liter of gasoline.
Sorry you feel that way xpensive and a shame because you are wrong.
The limits to hybrid and kers technology is only because of the delays forced by the vested established technologies nothing else.
Nothing you can say changes the fact that Ferrari ARE having to offer hybrid versions of ALL their road cars simply to meet the regulations for road use and these regulations will continue to become stricter in regard to CO2 output and emissions. The writing is well and truely on the wall, ignore it and all you will do is confine your ideas to history.
