0 comments



The 918 Spyder is well under way full of development and set to debut in September 2013.

One lucky journalist (Damon Lavrinc) from Wired got the chance of a lifetime to sit in with Porsche at the Nardo Test Track. His report revealed that this new breed of Supercar will come with 770hp (553lb-ft torque) from its V8 and two electric motors. It will reach 0-60mph in 3 seconds, have a top speed of 202mph, and cost $800,000 (U.S.)
It will truely be a modern marvel with more than 50 CPU's onboard, an electrical system that took 9 months to develop, and a body and cockpit built of carbon fiber.

This is one plug-in hybrid we can't wait to see debut!
