Porsche sure do love new technology, but you'll see they only use it when real world application has shown it to work and the technology is properly developed. AKA, they don't half ass it on the tech front.

So taking a KERS-reminiscent drivetrain to the Nurburgring 24hrs. this year is quite interesting.
Looks like the "hybrid" revolution is really coming to the sports car.

Rumors of Ferrari using a KERS-like system have been tossed around for a couple years and only recently have been near as makes no difference confirmed. Porsche, Ferrari... Who else will follow?
