Agree completely. Would have lost a huge amount of weight and complexity and I have doubts about it being significantly slower. I don't see the point in worrying about hybrid $160k+ sports cars that will rarely be driven. Yes it gets better mpg but unless you are driving it all the time it makes little difference.
Battery pack, 3 electric motors, V-6, and 3900+ lbs. would have me buying a 911 S RWD with similar performance at a much lower price and 500-600 lbs less weight (guess), far less complexity, I think more interesting power plant.
Or at a similar price I would get a GT3.
