All New Porsche 918 Spyder – Exterior and Interior Walkaround Review.

2014 Porsche 918 Spyder Walkaround Review.

Porsche 918 Spyder Priced, Matching 911 Turbo S Will Be Optional

Buyers of the $845,000 hybrid supercar will be able to commemorate the purchase with an “Edition 918 Spyder” 911 Turbo S.

In the wake of the Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid’s surprise launch at the 2010 Geneva auto show, Porsche made little secret of its plans to put the car into production. In fact, Porsche’s erstwhile R and D chief, Wolfgang Dürheimer—who now heads Bentley and Bugatti—personally handed this writer a form to sign up and register his interest in the car. I declined the offer, but others didn’t, and official production plans were confirmed last summer thanks to “outstanding customer response.” Now, we have a price: a cool $845,000, not including destination and handling. (We suspect the destination charge will affect few people’s purchasing plans.)

Additionally, Porsche has confirmed many of our suspicions. The 918 Spyder will be powered by a mid-mounted V-8 displacing “more than four liters”—as opposed to the concept’s racing-derived 3.4-liter engine—making “at least 500 hp.” Output from the car’s two electric motors also will stay close to the first concept’s, at “approximately 218 hp.” The performance targets are lofty: 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, a top speed of 199 mph, and a Nürburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 30 seconds, beating the legendary Carrera GT by two seconds.
