Hybrid systems are heavy and complex.
Using one on the front wheels has advantages but as the ACO has banned their use in the rain and below 120KPH we don't see it for our LMH with their weight, cost and complexity being worth it.
LMDh's 40HP RWD hybrid? Weak sauce.
Cost is math. Our LMH is 2mme for a 5 year car. Our running costs will be low. Our spare cost will be low. LMDh per year estimate15mm$ estimate? I don't hear a single.
