It is really cool to see these advancements happening in engine design.

I assumed most of the trick was that the car costs a million dollars or so.

"The total output (of the hybrid system) is a combined 1700 bhp or 1.27 MW of power and 3500 Nm of torque."

Is that torque at the wheel? If it's at the engine, who cares? It won't show up after the gears.

That design uses a single gear instead a traditional transmission.
