If the car is designed well, you can’t even tell it’s activated.

Well… you know that was not the case with most BMWs until just recently.

It's much better. Much more subtle, except in heavy airco season where you can feel the engine kick back on suddenly to keep it going.

Ferrari SF90 Stradale Spotted Testing at GM's Michigan Proving Grounds ~
We can only assume Chevy is benchmarking the 986-hp hybrid Ferrari against its rumored upcoming Covette E-Ray. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a4...CwEraSzuoSuX1E

Yep. It’s one of the benefits of so-called mild hybrid setups that have integrated starter generators. Some also have electric AC compressors so you dont lose cooling when the car stops. I hated the start stop on my f10 5 series but barely notice it on the RRS
