Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid drives - first real video
This past Thursday, the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid made its driving debut on a closed road in Monterey California, just days prior to its appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. After being shipped over from Germany by plane, engineers handed the keys of the new 918 Spyder Hybrid to Porsche AG Design Chief Michael Mauer. The car drove under its own power which comes from the mid mounted 3.4 liter V8 out of the RS Spyder as well as in all electric mode which powers just the front wheels. The 918 Spyder prototype combines high-tech racing features and electro-mobility to offer a fascinating range of qualities: An emission level of just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre on fuel consumption of three litres/100 kilometres (equal to 94 mpg imp) truly outstanding even for an ultra-compact city car, on the one hand, combined with the performance of a super sports car and acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just under 3.2 seconds, top speed of 320 km/h (198 mph) plus, and a lap time on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring in less than 7:30 minutes, faster than even the Porsche Carrera GT, on the other.
So is it Porsche's ...
So is it Porsche's intention to have their 'hyper car' look softer than a Ferrari 458 'sports car'? I miss the GT1, why don't they have a fusion of that design + CGT? Or does simplicity help performance that much?

Buying a Porsche obviously isn't ever about saving money. This vehicle seems to be made for those who want the status of a Porsche, but don't want to pollute quite so much.

It's not "fuel saving" to save the owner money, but to help the environment. Obviously if you can afford a Porsche you can afford the fuel for one.
