There IS a race class for such fuels. It's called the American Le Mans Series which runs a Green Challenge, offering awards for the best combination of low carbon emissions and best speed, recognizing E85, E15, biofuel and low-carbon diesel. The Porsche Hybrid was entered in the final race of the season, the Petit Le Mans (10 hours or 1,000 miles, whichever came first) and I watched it do very well against its competiton, including the Corvette, demonstrating speed, economy, low emissions and endurance.

What an over-priced piece of doodah, flywheel in center next to driver, must be only for race track. So many cars out there that can smoke this car silly for alot less, short term and long term. Like the Nissan 350Z. Porches are all hype, how about making it REALISTICALLY priced and not just for 3% of the population. Ain't nothing special about this technology if it costs more upfront to buy. Gas price < Initial Hybrid & Maintenence costs, that's how we want it, not the other way around.

That is a super car, I have a CTS-V and it is the fastest thing that I have ever driven, and my 1963 409 doesn't even compare with it, its super.

I watched this car at the Petite LeMans (Oct2). The car (due to class) started dead last. In the first 3 laps it passed 5 cars. It finished 18th overall. It passed the Corvette (2nd in Class) but lost the position to pit stops. With a radar gun at Turn 9 it clocked 164mph. At the chicaine before the bridge it clocked 110mph (Corvette: 101mph).
YES DADDY, I WANT ONE!

Of course it's not my father's Porsche. My dad drove a yellow '74 Chevy Nova.
