It doesn't have to be. Take the Panamera or 3/5-series Hybrid. An electric motor between the flywheel and the gearbox is easy to manage and can help both with outright power and fill in torque where the combustion engine need it. If you did that in a 911 C4S you could still retain the AWD system as is.
For turbocharged engines with a high output per litre I think adding an electric motor is essential to eliminate lag.
I get what you say about the ICE acting as a generator only, but in a sports car I think it's best to keep the battery pack light and electric power at a moderate 100-200 bhp. Until the batteries improve at least.
