Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid drives - first real video

This past Thursday, the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid made its driving debut on a closed road in Monterey California, just days prior to its appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

After being shipped over from Germany by plane, engineers handed the keys of the new 918 Spyder Hybrid to Porsche AG Design Chief Michael Mauer. The car drove under its own power which comes from the mid mounted 3.4 liter V8 out of the RS Spyder as well as in all electric mode which powers just the front wheels.

The 918 Spyder prototype combines high-tech racing features and electro-mobility to offer a fascinating range of qualities: An emission level of just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre on fuel consumption of three litres/100 kilometres (equal to 94 mpg imp) truly outstanding even for an ultra-compact city car, on the one hand, combined with the performance of a super sports car and acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just under 3.2 seconds, top speed of 320 km/h (198 mph) plus, and a lap time on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring in less than 7:30 minutes, faster than even the Porsche Carrera GT, on the other.

You do have a point these new hyper cars have exuberant new designs which are hard to accept...but I just fell in love straight away with this car, I still respect your opinion though.

[Iestyn Dalli]

Cargasm!

I might get flamed for saying this but I am just having a lot of trouble liking this car. I mean i see the p1 in camo in a trailer and i get it, its gorgeous. I like almost all porches, especially the newer ones because i just feel like its the car James Bond would drive other than his vintage Aston Martin. I guess the aesthetics of this car are not appealing for me nor is the Le Ferrari. Maybe they will grow on me later.

For a real Supercar fan,sound of this car is pure music.
