The Prius just uses a different flavor of the same fundamental hybrid electric petrol. There are others as well. The concept came to F1 very late in the day. Another thing... do we really think that the auto industry waits for the FIA to dream up some new F1 regulations before it can advance its road technology ? Are we now going to see a rush of manufacturers developing
1.6L V6 petrol turbo engines - complete with this flavor of hybrid - for their shopping trolleys ?
... sorry I did try to get back to the topic... of noise.
