Team Adam's Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo8rIqwZyis]Porsche 918 Spyder spotted at Nürburgring - YouTube[/ame] The Porsche 918 Spyder Sure Doesn’t Sound Like A Hybrid We knew it was only a matter of time before Porsche's latest supercar project, the Porsche 918 Spyder, would be spotted testing on the Nurburgring. That time has finally come. For those of you who may have exiled yourself to the crenulated ruins of a medieval German castle, the 918 is Porsche's V8 Hybrid successor to the amazing Carrera GT. The plug-in drivetrain will let the car get amazing fuel mileage, claimed to max out around 75 MPG, while still being insanely fast. Even though it has some eco pretensions, it sounds absolutely incredible under full throttle. This thing will eat Prii up like muesli while wearing Martini livery.

Team Adam's Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 This car is gonna be crazy... interesting use of electric motors b/c while part of them is used to get the economy side, when driving competitively they act as additional power, giving the car crazy amounts of tq off the line.

DaveVY Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 never been a fan of Porsche...and im still not. They design well performing machines, just don't care for their looks as it seems too pragmatic and when they make changes... it is only a few millimeters at a time. Will be cool to see how they implement the hybrid idea for performance purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
