Hi!

The Porsche 918 hybrid is a really fast, and nice car. When I saw the interior, I was amazed that it had a dual clutch paddle shifters. I never knew there was more than one gear in a hybrid, as the Prius was a CVT, and electric cars like the Tesla Roadster only has one gear so you don't hear shifting and the car does not lose speed when shifting.

Does that mean that a hybrid can also come in a stick shift if people were into that sort of thing?

Below is the video.

Simply put a hybrid is just a regular car with an electric motor and battery added to the drivetrain, everything else about the car is just that, a car.
