>electric power
having electric power in a supercar is like having dollar store towels at a 5 star hotel

Highly doubt it. if anything that just means it'll be the most reliable car in its class. the engine as a V6 twin turbo is already under stressed with making something like 450 HP in an engine that was probably designed and built from the ground up to take heavy boost. this just means the engine won't be doing a lot of work at all.

Having the car be able to go quiet when you need it and make noise when you want it is like driving something out of a Bond film.

wear comes from starter usage and from spinning up the engine with no oil pressure. using a beefier starter or the electric motors to start the engine solves the starter problem, and having an auxiliary oil pump solves the other (i have no idea how if at all the nsx does it tho)
