LOL ... okay then it “grabs” me as a “fake car” using “fake (not internally generated) power, hence the reliance on “fake engines” - AKA motors.
Back atchya! ;)

“In this case, electrical front axle drive with two electric motors developing 60 kW each supplements the 480-bhp four-litre flat-six at the rear of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. A further significant point is that instead of the usual batteries in a hybrid road car, an electrical flywheel power generator fitted in the interior next to the driver delivers energy to the electric motors.
The flywheel generator itself is an electric motor with its rotor spinning at speeds of up to 40,000 rpm, storing energy mechanically as rotation energy. The flywheel generator is charged whenever the driver applies the brakes, with the two electric motors reversing their function on the front axle and acting themselves as generators. Then, whenever necessary, that is when accelerating out of a bend or when overtaking, the driver is able to call up extra energy from the charged flywheel generator, the flywheel being slowed down electromagnetically in the generator mode and thus supplying up to 120 kW to the two electric motors at the front from its kinetic energy. This additional power is available to the driver after each charge process for approximately 6 - 8 seconds.”
All power is generated by the gasoline burned in the 480-bhp four-litre flat-six. However, on braking, instead of all the kinetic energy being converted to waste heat by the brake pads & rotors, most of it is converted to flywheel kinetic energy by the from wheel motor/generators.

LOL Tag, you’re it! :-)
