I wonder about the thinking that goes into creating a low volume, halo product like this in the social milieu of urgent climate change. Yes, car makers love halo products. Or at least the marketing departments do. And it is an interesting bit of technology - hybrid ICE / electric vehicles as performance rather than fuel efficiency.

I suspect this is a preview of the near-future of supercars. They'll all be hybrids just to eke out that barely-legal fuel economy figure they'll need to have. We all know that no one is going to actually see those numbers of course, because the testing cycle requires the driver drive like a grandma, but at least in theory they'll be compliant and that's exactly what the car manufacturers want.
