No time line has been given for when the car will be ready for the road, but we'd expect it to be at least a two-year lead-up to the first production models. Just in case you've forgotten how awesome the 918 Spyder Concept is: it's a 500-horsepower, 78-mpg, 9,200-rpm 3.4-liter V-8 hybrid all-wheel-drive sports car capable of 3.2-second 0-60 mph, 198 mph top speed, 16-mile all-electric range, and looks to stop traffic cold.

I don't think that will be a problem.

nice! that looks F'in badass... but why hybrid? If you can afford the car you can surely afford the gas.

better sound like a carrera gt...

It's a hybrid. Not an electric car moron.

i'm all for saving a few trees if it doesnt sacrifice the driving experience. But given that it's Porsche, I'm sure it'll be good.

more like "hey look im a douche trying to look like I want to save the environment but it doesn't fucking matter since I'm never ever going to get 78mpg if I drive the car the way it was meant to be driven."



That aside, this car is HAWT.

Totally agreed.

twitchyzero 08-01-2010 09:45 AM
is that the production model? i hope they dont come with those rims

tofu1413 08-01-2010 10:38 AM
the CGT concept was pretty similar the production version. with very very minor variation.


lets just hope the 918 would be 90% of what the concept was!
