If the term “hybrid car” evokes<br />
thoughts of the fun-killing Toyota<br />
Prius, prepare for your little mind to<br />
melt. With its next elite supercar,<br />
Porsche will fl ip the script on the H-word<br />
by combining a V-8 gas engine with<br />
three electric motors. The purpose?<br />
Just. Go. Faster. (Oh, yeah, and, uh, save<br />
the Earth. Heh.) The stunning speedster’s<br />
3.4-liter V-8 engine will put out<br />
a whopping 500 horsepower and work<br />
in tandem with three battery-powered<br />
electric motors to call up an additional<br />
218 ponies anytime you click a wheel-<br />
mounted “E-Boost” button, Speed<br />
Racer–style. You’ll also be able to shut<br />
the gas engine off and drive on pure<br />
battery power, allowing for one long,<br />
silent 16-mile cruise. You’ll hear<br />
everything they’re saying about you. ≥≥<br />
