There are those who harp on the 650S, somehow deriding it for being an updated, more P1-like version of the 12C. Those people are missing the point entirely. The 650S isn’t just an updated 12C with a new face; it’s a better 12C. And that makes it a very good car.

The greatest fuel efficiency gains can be made on the least efficient vehicles. Improve a 15 mpg car by 5 mpg, and you've raised its gas mileage a third—find a similar 5 mpg improvement on a 50 mpg Toyota Prius and you've dragged it up by a scant ten percent. Despite those odds, Toyota says it might have found that ten percent through one technology alone: Improved semiconductors.
