Porsche 918 Spyder in Action

[TheRunningBoy20]

is it just me or does it have a slight resemblance to an f430? either way splendid looking car!

[4xLP4xL]

This looks absolutely amazing, love the 911, and now i can add this too the list. Good job porsche, make cars like this instead of cayenne and panamera...

[dalejrfan800]

The motor has 500hp? I could have sworn that was the Engine. See, ENGINES are MECHANICAL and MOTORS are ELECTRICAL! Fucking assholes.

[t3ice]

It drives really nice. I know because ive driven it.. in nfs :(

[pyropaul566]

It looks like a cross between an f430, a lamborghini, a lotus, and a Bughatti Veyron.

[flimsyshow]

@pyropaul566 You should google for Porsche 550, 718, 917k and a Carrera GT. It looking like a cross between racing porsche models sounds more logical than a mix between what you've mentioned

[freakforall100]

the legendary carrera GT is revived... WITH ELECTRIC ENGINES!!!

[nbmp80]

fuck africa

[nnifsumsar]

@nbmp80 warum?

[fforfahim]

after the successfull fucking of justin beiber, we bring to you "Dear Santa"

[SuperBb889]

don't bother santa for this, even he wishes to have this car in his garage..

[HenGlinz]

wow! nice interior

frankly, i hate porsche interiors,

[godzillat6]

Not as exotic as Carrera GT

[zlyable]

200hp from a button? my god!!

[RockstahRolln]

@zlyable EXTRA 200hp in addition to the 500hp, from one button, yes! Insane isn't it!?

[MrPatschn]

@RockstahRolln 500 Hp V8 and 250 hp Elecricmotor ;)

[eli551000]

Dear Santa....

[lineridemidget]

pretty sure they put the electric motor for more power more so than more efficiency

[slapurfaceoff]

@lineridemidget not necessarily power, but it will add some, it's for incredibly awesome efficiency and endurance on the race track

[BBQPeanut]

Any hybrid or electric car isn't green. Talk to an actual environmentalist and you'd realize that it isn't green.

[rmcld]

@BBQPeanut the way we get electricity is not green, but if it´s emissions are 0, that´s what counts in a car.

[BBQPeanut]

@rmcld It's emissions aren't 0. People hare required to move to a new car instead of keeping their old car. Making a new car has a lot of emissions. A lot.

[rmcld]

@BBQPeanut like i said! that is true, but what matters is how much the car produces according to the laws about cars.

[BBQPeanut]

@rmcld You realize the SMART environmentalists realize that the world isn't going to survive on efficiency. It will ONLY survive on a total drop in materialism. It doesn't matter if you're 100% carbon neutral through solar energy and geothermal if you still buy new things regularly etc etc.

[touretul]

the sound is terrible



[yomammaspoodle]

this thing is said to get 78 mpg!

[TheRealHankMoody]

The first porsche that really looks tight ! Good job !

[vvysoc]

@TheRealHankMoody you dont think carrera gt looks good

[Israeli3030]

@TheRealHankMoody carrera's don't do it for you?

[papapetad]

It's not a green car you idiot. It's fucking grey with green calipers. I'm sure its fuel consumption figures aren't very green either, nor is the fact the resources needed to produce one of these makes it about as green as launching a bunch of missiles into a village in the desert somewhere.

[Rezat67]

this is what u call a proper super sport car not that faggy lexus LFA

[floridabowhunter]

@Rezat67 this is a hybrid an lfa is a race car.... an lfa would eat this around a track but that's not what this is for. fun, practical and efficient is what this is. and it gets 78 mpg.

[MOFUZION]

They should hit that button and put it into action...

[c2conditioning]

Germans sure know there stuff like no other.

[MAHKRFreestyler]

The best looking car ever......by the way it will pay back it's price in around forty years just by saving on fuel......now I need to figure out where to get a million....

[CountDollarz]

@MAHKRFreestyler It woud pay back its price in 2 weeks with all the pussy u would get driving that thing LOL

[krippkillaa]

@TheSTEFYGROBAR fag

[JMCporsche]

Wow a green car that doesn't make me die of boredom

[kryptzon]

Damn it, it's not on Craigslist :(

[dadyfatsackz]

And you can buy this car for the very affordable price of 1 million American dollars!!! :)

[kpbrigade]

@dadyfatsackz its about 900.000 euro i think?!

[RX7GLORY]

hope they tune they exhaust a bit to something like the CGT

[DUNiT718]

omfg.....

[elwara]

The car is pretty good but, it can be fast??

[HungQDang]

@elwara 0-60 mph in about 3.3 seconds! is that fast enough?

[elwara]

@HungQDang Ok men thx for u coment!; I din´t know that

[patrickh499]

dear satan...

[iDream0fNurburgring]

When can I hear this damn car go FULL THROTTLE WHILE SHIFTING GEARS!? I guess the car only has one gear, is still a cock-tease prototype, or is only aloud to be driven at one RPM by some pansy ass billionaire who cant put his foot to the floor..

[SalluhMown]

this is the porsche with 78 mpg right or is it just the hybrid?

[EnigmaNZ1]

Sounds like a motorcycle with a miss.

[marchingeagle1028]

Is it just me or does it sound like a Kawasaki motorcycle?

[ghibli05]

All these "green" cars are like quartz watches, efficient but with no value.

One washing machine's electrical engine installed on each wheels wheel and you have the fastest car in the world. And then ??

Let's keep the electricity for city cars or scooters but please, let the sports cars alone !

[Ltndoom]

@ghibli05 its a bit more than a washing machine

[ghibli05]

@ghibli05

Agreed, I am a Porsche fan, i owe one and lover her 1

However i maintain that electric engines are so basic without any romantism.

Who will collect a car with an electric engine ?

[FooDoo6]

Can someone 6'6" tall fit in one? :)

[darius112]

ahh there isthis thing on the right under your foot you should push on it

[america101010]

prosche cars look like frogs to me

[RussianPunch]

@america101010 As a Lamborghini man, I agree, but this Porche 918 is the single great exception.

[MrsShadowBroker]

@RussianPunch Agreed, this is the best looking car Porsche have made since the 356 speedster. Not liking how the 961 is shaping up however.

[america101010]

@RussianPunch true. 

[StefanR0]

And again ... WAY ahead of competition. PORSCHE :-)

[reyrey61955]

is tht car slow

[jordangrc1]

@reyrey61955 iyll be 1 of the fastest in the world and they plan to break records

[reyrey61955]

@jordangrc1 huh wat u mean

[jordangrc1]

@reyrey61955 Porsche Presents 918 Spyder High-Performance Concept Sports Car in Geneva. that is the name of the video that will answer that question.

[MrEflox]

Prety good noise for an electric car !

[jerarri]

@MrEflox true :P

[StefanR0]

@MrEflox It's not an electric car, it's an electric supported car. It's combustion engine can make close to 80 miles per gallon.

[HungQDang]

@MrEflox its a hybrid, not electric!

[lazarandrei2008]

@HungQDang thats what toyota said

[HungQDang]

that's what dumb people said! An electric car can have 78 MPG? electric cars don't need gas to run!

[JoLXP]

@MrEflox it's not an electric car...

[brassringmedia]

@MrEflox it's not an electric car.

[Ascendancy25]

@MrEflox its a hybrid, not an electric car.

[528jkl]

where are the 5 men whose are push this donkey ?

[DJR3PUBLIK]

@528jkl Its a concept car, the transmission is one of a kind and they jeopardize the clutch by having someone stall.

[primphum]

high performance hybrid.

even though porche 918 is a concept but it's the reality life for ecology green car technology.

[CarssNL]

I like the lime green brakes. :P

[quincee33]

@CarssNL but the rims are kinda ugly.....beautiful car, but not liking the rims...that's just my opinion.

[shivarudra]

i think someone dared this guy to do the voice over with a clothes pin on his nose.

[Melodydeluxe]

1 mean green machine ;)

[iDream0fNurburgring]

would've been a nice video if he had "Got on it!"

[patrickh499]

supercars dont cause global warming. cows dos.

so buy a fast car, kill a cow and you have an Co2 neutral car (and dinner)

[bamboali]

@patrickh499

nice one!

[PentruRasaAlba]

I couldn't possibly care less about being "green", I just want my car to look good, go fast, and sound mean. Because if you really think about it, how many of these will there be on the road, assuming it was by no means "green" and "polluted" like crazy? It's the everyday, slow and gay f'ugly people carriers that need to be "green", "eco-friendly" and blah blah, not exotic sport cars.

[brittonray]

u can eally tell theydont wanna break this thing

[minigunner1212]

it shits all over other cars

[gtstru]

this car looks like the "RS" model of the standard Porsche carrera gt. if i was the one running porsche i would replace the standard gt engine with a newly modified version of the same engine. like mabe turbo/supercharge it and give it a tune mabe.

[jayfiver]

i kept waiting for the action

[TechmannB]

I Want to see this on Top Gear against the Sesto Elemento Lamborghini

[primphum]

extremely flat sport car, still concept.

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

just throwin it out there..how would you get extremly good gas millage if you only get the 200hp from the electric motor when you push the button...

[zondabypagani]

too bad you need five people to get it started from 0 kph

[thegarlands04]

@zondabypagani its still a prototype so they haven't wrked out all the kinks yet

[Gargarensisspire]

so this can park in the hybrid environmental firendly parking spots?

[Schatzomat]

SCHEISS WERBUNG!

[cmpurnell]

Behold: The more awesome Prius

[julianbell90]

and to save gas when i'm in rush hour traffic, or in the city can i set it to only run on the electric motor? Only need 200 hp in traffic, and the city has so many cars and stop lights I wouldn't have room to do anything. Of course when I get out to the country side...

[bostondon24]

starting price-- north of 800,000 dollars

[Hypnotiqu3]

i cannot belive it is out so fast from the prototype state.... WOW :-O live it

[nunOClara02]

I love that car and rims

[thebear2857]

i wanna hear it with WOT!!!

[Smikefliege]

I WANT ONE!!!! it looks great hace a nice sound and angela merkel wont kick your ass!

[yo93yeah]

wtf are those wheels made of??? the look so fuckin siiick!!!!

[Y0UNERD]

Too bad they didnt take it out of 2nd gear :\

[1cyN1ck]

the front end almost looks like a f430

[stevecdixon]

imagine a 500hp car, push a button and you have 700hp with the electric boost... what a concept. One must assume that care has a weight of 6,000 lbs plus with all that motor and battery!

[halfbreed23]

Doesn't sound like this car is really for the MPG as, if I'm correct, You only get 16 miles on the battery. It sounds as if the electric part of the car is to boost the horsepower. It's a beautiful car but it will not be good on gas.

[Thoko21333]

world class ecology and power. the overall concept is amazing. this needs no description. its a porsche.

[titan57nl]

It could have been prettier...but i like the interior with the sepereation part.

[titan57nl]

It could have prettier...but i like the interior with the sepereation part.

[biped19]

Hybrid for sports cars are stupid. Period. Either make it all electric or keep it with only an ICE.

Historically these hybrid sports cars will be looked upon more as oddities rather than innovative platforms like their cheaper consumer kin.Still, the 918 is a Beautiful car.

[ChickenCritters]

@biped19 This is a new era. yes you can only get 14 miles on one charge out of the electric engine. but by going hybrid for a quick 30 secs you can use the electric motors and gain extra power. Picture it like niltros.

20 years from now most super cars will be hybrid, not for the extra mpg but for the power

[newtongrace]

Bless him, I don't think he means 'ecology'...

[528jkl]

IF YOU HAVE 15 GUYS TO PUSH THIS SHIT , YOU CAN DRIVE IT !!!!

[lukeBme]

I can tell the sound is there...he just needs to put his foot down! Awesome car

[elfboy443]

I don't know what everyones talking about? I see alot of porsche in this car, althought from the side it looks very ferrari, but who's complaining?

[Haxtore]

co za asy

[serbanutz]

they aren't driving it as it looks.... FAST!

[vannebo92]

:D

[94GOOGLE94]

@nikobellic2008

yeah extra power availible in 8 seconds ( electric boost )

500 hp of the v8 and 218 of eclectrique engine )

[MrStubacca77]

looks like it only has one gear!!!

prototype held together by glue and sticky tape??

[quincee33]

rims are ugly.....imo.....especially the silver ones.....they look like giant hub caps.

[glusquirt]

why would i want to watch a toyota commercial to watch this in action

[rleestma]

Prius' suck

[felixXH12]

in action? lol thats like a snail

[southBAYstruts]

this is the car id run away from the police in.... theyd have to get gas 5 times before i would not to mention id be able to outrun the helicopters too

[roadtorupert]

718 hp 100 mpg

[CoDandONS]

@roadtorupert Lol it's not 100 miles per gallon... It's 100 km per 3 lts.. Which is 62 miles per gallon..

[geterhero]

@CoDandONS especially when you never go over 20 mph

[beggi62]

911 isch geiler

(im klang)!!!

[R3DMAN1AC]

now everyone loves porsche even the environmentalist! yeah

[thebossisheretostay]

this looks better than in the pictures

[TheDymekk]

what if its raining?

[ThePhiltastic]

It's just stupid. fuck hybrid in a 718hp car

[anduandi221]

@ThePhiltastic its actually fucking genius

[Gmoneyluv4u]

this is a electric powered and gas engine this is crazzy fast

[quincee33]

Sounds terrible, but if it's good for the environment and kicks ass then who really cares.

[Swoosh4435]

Looks amazing sounds like a 20yr old civic!!

[mrjugger]

stupid company , cars built for wankers

[cod4Skillz94]

@mrjugger dont be mad because you cant afford them in your life time

[mrjugger]

@cod4Skillz94 ok that must be it

[DjSuperSou1]

hybrid shit... porsche is gone..

[quincee33]

@DjSuperSou1 no way, they're ahead of the curve.....come on dude, it's a hybrid and it doesn't look or drive like a Prius.....win win in my books.

[DjSuperSou1]

@quincee33 lol man. pursuit of performance doesnt know anything about ecological. its fail car anyway and nothing will help it.

[quincee33]

@DjSuperSou1 it gets 75 MPG......and kicks ass at the race track....i think it's awesome except the ugly rims.

[frozel]

When I drive a sport car I own, I always think about the fuel that I'm spending while I'm driving it sportly. This is the ultimate one: Driving with all the pleasure without the eco conscience!

[julingy]

@frozel when you drive this car hard it gets not that great mpg....... i dont think their is currently a technology that doesnt sacrifice MPG's when your having fun.

[wolverinelova11]

Porsche For Life:)

It's gonna be faster than the carrea!

Good job Porsche

[sakda357]

Not so cool, feel weird.

[bismillahmashallah]

i doubt any1 who has this car is ganna set it on the hybird mode ever lol

[Desm0Rob]

From Wikipedia, "Ecology is a sub-discipline of biology, which is the study of life"

This car has that? Reaaallly?!? Unless there are worms in the glove box and an environment of micro organisms under the hood that are powering the engine, I believe the word you're looking for is ECONOMY.

[robotmonkey73]

Replace all of that green trim with red and replace that v8 with a proper boxer (flat 8 anybody?) and it would be perfect

[ktmboy1989]

@robotmonkey73 boxer engine? there is a reason formula 1 uses the V setup bud.

[lkiller123]

This monster goes for 78mpg...

GO SUCK IT PRIUS

PORSCHE > TOYOTA

[breakerrgandalf]

3 l on 100 km, that is a word!

[HigherPlanes]

500 hp +200 more if you want it? Yup, sounds green to me.

[Naru1987]

@HigherPlanes and again, 3 l on 100 km :P give me an example for a car that hits the 3 l? vw lupo 3l, as a diesel with under 50 ps :P

[quincee33]

@HigherPlanes Zero emissions, and 75 MPG! Pretty awesome Hybrid if u ask me.

[HigherPlanes]

@quincee33 700HP with zero emissions AND 75 MPG?

[quincee33]

@HigherPlanes i'm sorry it can get 78 MPG! And even though i'm not an expert on Carbon Emissions - it gets 70G/KM which is less than the Prius' 89G/KM......and well below the Europe mandate of MAX. 120 G/KM.....of course if u don't drive it in Hybrid mode or all-electric it will be a gas guzzler....but all you have to do is let the 2 electric motors do there thing and all is good.....not too mention it's a plug-in unlike the Prius.

[HigherPlanes]

@quincee33 I'm not expert either. However, I bet you those numbers are inflated. It can get 78MPG on what, all electric on a single charge before the gas engine kicks in skewing the numbers? Or hybrid mode?

[quincee33]

@HigherPlanes Dude, use some commonsense, if it's in all engine mode it probably gets 8 - 10 MPG .... of course it needs the hybrid to have better fuel economy...it comes with 4 modes including all electric.  Sounds like you have a bone to pick? Are you a "tree hugger" ?

[HigherPlanes]

@quincee33 A tree hugger? Wow, how derogatory. Sounds like you have a bone to pick yourself, buddy. But to answer your question- I'm just keeping it real while Porsche is keeping really half-ass... as far as green technology goes anyway. Porsche produces amazing machines, don't get me wrong. But marketing this vehicle as a "green" machine is like McDonald's marketing Big Macs as a low-fat food source. Anyway, you'll know when we go green because we'll stop calling everything green.

[quincee33]

@HigherPlanes Don't be offended by tree hugger, i usually say worse. I hope we don't go green if "green" means stupid regulations and laws, big government telling us what we can or can't use ....... i'm all for reasonable approaches to helping mother Earth but i don't listening to Earth First or Greenpeace is the way to go!

[94GOOGLE94]

this shit would be so fast !

718 hp 1380 kg

Porsche for ever

[gararmis]

sex on wheels

[shotsoon]

This needs to be pushed to start.

--SS--

[HigherPlanes]

@shotsoon Don't be ridiculous. You probably a video of some amateur attempting to drive a stick and needed a push.
