On this episode of The Downshift we explore the McLaren P1, Porsche 918, second generation NSX and the LaFerrari - a new crop of hypercars that have been introduced from the world's most technologically advanced manufacturers. Coincidentally or not, they have all arrived at the same conclusion, hybrid technology is the future of speed. We talk with the people behind the scenes pushing the limits of gasoline/electric power in the McLaren P1, Porsche 918, second generation NSX and the LaFerrari.
