McLaren W1 嘅混能系統追求嘅係極致性能而非純電續航力。佢嘅電池容量得 1.384 kWh。雖然佢有純電模式,可以畀你靜悄悄地出入屋苑唔嘈到人,但純電續航力只有大約 2.6 公里。呢套系統嘅設計理念係確保賽道上時刻有足夠電量輔助加速,並且用摩打取代傳統嘅倒車檔。
The hybrid system in the McLaren W1 is designed for ultimate performance, not electric range. Its tiny battery has a capacity of just 1.384 kWh. While it does have an EV mode for silent manoeuvring around the neighbourhood, its all-electric range is only about 2.6 km. The system is designed to keep enough charge for on-track performance and uses the electric motor for reverse.
