The electrification story has been foretold by Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid powered by 600 HP V8 and 2 electric motors with an additional 282 HP.

In 2013, Porsche 918 Spyder set a Nürburgring lap time of 6:57 beating the previous record by 14 seconds. The record has been beaten since 8 times standing at 6:40.

8 years ago, Porsche 918 Spyder could be in anyone's garage for $1M USD. What is remarkable is how the same technology now costs a fraction.

I would not mind M3/M4 with 600 HP inline 6 and 2 electric motors which engage when needed, i.e. pulling out of a corner.
