Could it be possible that they're planning on relying on the electric motors to get around short drives and low rpm torque so that the ICE can be tuned for higher speed usage? Maybe with a gigantic turbo so the electric acts as a lag compensator?

It's always allowed to dream.
But honestly, I don't believe a single word of it.
The visual however is very interesting.
