I told the girl I was watching top gear with... That the P1 made my **** harder than she did.... She somehow understood...
Yeah, Clarkson intentionally flipped the roles of the engine/motor for comedic effect.Can someone explain the system for me in the P1? Is it powered by the electric engine while the gas engine generates electricity for electric engine (because 176 hp is pretty low). Or is it powered by the gas engine? If so what does the electric engine do?
Sorry, I wasnt understanding the explanation.

In reality, it's like most hybrids... 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 (same as the 12C, I believe), but tuned to 727 hp... PLUS the electric motor that produces 176 hp... for a total of 903 hp. As Clarkson mentioned, the electric motor fills in the gaps of the engine... like during the shifts and when the turbos are spooling (before the boost kicks in). The car also has an IPAS boost system from the electric motor.
