If you’ve ever wondered what kind of hybrid you actually have (mild? traditional? plug-in?) or which one makes the most sense for your driving, this breakdown is for you.
In simple language, I explain:
the 3 hybrid types
how each one works on the road
the real pros/cons nobody talks about

Was this generation of the NSX a flop? Misunderstood? I think it was just ahead of its time and they are going to become more respected as other manufacturers produce hybrid supercars today (a decade later).
