Yeah, Clarkson intentionally flipped the roles of the engine/motor for comedic effect.
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.
I think they already did the hot-lap with the P1, but Clarkson said that they wanted to compare it with the 918, so I guess they're gonna wait till Hammond reviews it.
Odd that they didn't show a lap with the 4C though!
Man, have fun explaining the MGU-H & the MGU-K this season!

something about the p1 that i really love just from the looks...
That car is just absolutely stunning. I am both American and British (duel citizen) but Americans hate it when I try to identify with them. So I had issues with my identity. When I grew older, especially as the EU got established, I just started to call myself British. No need identifying with people who don't want you to.
McLaren, Aston Martin, Pagani, Jaguar, and just British car culture in general have done a great job making proud to be british. If I could reverse time I would not even try to lose my accent. Now my voice is a mess of residual accents from all the countries I have lived in.
