Correct!
The other innovative piece of the drivetrain was a high-speed carbon-fiber flywheel, spinning in a vacuum, that was to store energy for bursts of acceleration. After the flywheels proved susceptible to shrapnel-spreading failures, Chrysler wisely decided to not expose drivers to such a risk, and put the project to bed.

Sounds much like what Williams' KERS was all about.
