the Porsche 918 Spyder Steals Geneva Show, even though Porsche displayed its new Cayenne 911 Turbo S and GT3 R Hybrid at Geneva this week, the real jaw-dropper was the new 918 Spyder, a high-tech racing persona with an electric motor to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy, according to Porsche, the fuel consumption is equivalent to 94mpg! but yet, it still performs like how a Porsche should with acceleration 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 198mph,
when pushed around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, it pulled a lap time of less than 7:30 minutes - that's faster than the Porsche Carrera GT, the engine under the spotlight is a 3.4 liter V8 capable of more than 500hp and a redline of 9200rpm, the electric motors on the front and rear axles have an overall output of 218hp, power is transmitted to a seven-speed double-clutch tranny which feeds power to the rear wheels, now I wonder if I can afford one!
