As far as I know, very little is actually known about this car. The biggest issue with it when racing is the economy, what with being an electric vehicle and therefore unable to be refueled in the pits.
Now, with most electric cars in GT5, you use energy when accelerating, draining the battery, but when coasting or braking, you gain back energy.
What I want to know is this: are the rates of use/recharge the same?
Obviously this wouldn't be possible in real life (exceeding 100% efficiency), but it's a french concept car in a game, so that doesn't matter.
I'm asking because I just did a race around the nurburgring north loop, and because I was off the gas and coasting and braking a lot, the battery gauge level thing didn't go down much.
Is it possible to recharge the battery with more juice than it uses over the course of a lap? That would mean the car is good for endurance races; it's extremely (deceptively) fast, looks awesome in green, handles well once you dial out the understeer (harder rears + front aero + fixed suspension).
All you'd have to do is a coast lap once you run out, banking on the massive lead you've built up. It wouldn't take you much more time compared to a usual pit stop (100 seconds or something), and you'd be able to run the stints purely on tyres, meaning a leaner pit strategy and a faster average speed.
