The 918 Porsche concept was a showcase to show off future technology for Porsche vehicles.
Buses have been using that technology for years. If you look up the Chrysler Patriot WSC race car, it was to use that technology, but due to the fact that for it's power it had a potential of breaking, which it did during a test, killing an employee. they cancelled the project before it couldget on a track under its own power. the photos they shot of it were from the car being towed cause the drivers and Chrysler were too scared of the flywheel.
