This is very fascinating, new mechanical approaches proliferate! Koenigsegg has the total opposite approach in their hybrid Regera supercar: no gearboxes at all. Low speed high torque is delegated to the electric motors, and the internal combustion engine only engages after a certain speed. http://jalopnik.com/how-the-1-500-hp-koenigsegg-regera-hits-248-mph-without-1689181377 http://jalopnik.com/how-the-1-500-hp-koenigsegg-regera-hits-... I think that is a potentially fruitful approach.
