FUN FACT

Along with the increasing complexity of hybrid powertrains comes packaging challenges: the Porsche 918 Spyder is said to be so crammed with electronics modules and high-voltage cables that a deck of cards would be impossible squeeze beneath its skin.

HISTORICAL TIDBIT

Ferrari engineers made a conscious choice when designing LaFerrari: rather than downsize the engine to a V-8, they embraced the traditional V-12—perhaps to emphasize that this car was not compromised in any way.

KEY PERSON

When it came to F1’s adoption of hybrid powertrains, the buck stopped at then-FIA President Max Mosley, an ardent proponent of the technology. Mosley has since stepped down, and former boss Bernie Ecclestone has called for the scrapping of hybrids in F1.
