I know Monza is very fast with no room for batteries regeneration... (there are 2/3 very strong braking anyway).
but my question is:
is the car completely useless when batteries are depleted? what does happen to the combustion engine?

Consult your Porsche Center.
In Race mode, you shouldn't deplete the batts to the max at all.

Good morning to everybody!
I'm mario from Italy. I’m sorry for my bad English but I can't resist to share with you my experience on 918.
I had the opportunity to drive my 918 on Monza track last Saturday. first 3 laps were amazing!! fantastic car with incredible handling and acceleration. I touched 295 km/h (GPS) at the end of the straight!
after that, during the fourth lap, the batteries were depleted... my feeling was: what's happening? damn!!! the car is broken!!! Valves are gone!!!
I only used the RH mode!!! Never used HL!!
the big problem is that after 3 laps, without the electric motors, the car is not a little bit slower... it is monstrously slower!!! it's something completely different and not funny!! my feeling is that also the combustion engine doesn't work properly in this condition, may be 50% of its power!! the performance is not 1 or 2 seconds slower… the car doesn’t work! I’ve lost 50 km/h on the straight!!
I drove back home and I couldn’t sleep that night.... very disappointed!!!
anyone heard something like that??
thanks a lot to everybody and compliments for this very interesting discussion.

Talk about suspense!! I reckon the Porsche 918 was the fastest around the track!

It seems Bugatti and Pagani are at least 3 seconds off the pace of the P1 and the 918 was about 1.5 seconds faster then the P1. Perhaps the LAF is the big surprize here.

That 918 time to 300km/h seems too slow, it should be under 21sec judging by how fast it hit 150mph. The AMS test got 19.1sec to 300km/h and they got 5.1sec to 160km/h (compared to this test of 5.5sec).

lafe is incredibly slow until 150mph

The surface isn't great at Bruntingthorpe. All the cars are probably a second or so faster to 150mph on a good surface. Someone mentioned something about a small incline too and wind is always a potential factor.

Wow that 918 is something else, fastest in drag race and fastest around track! Incredible car!

Very close result again. Clearly there's nothing between these three.
