Default Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid

EDIT** Just Saw that SICK beat me too it... LOL **EDIT

WOW

I dont know if you guys have caught this.

I hope they put this bad boy into production.

Leave it to Porsche to show the world how Sports Car Hybrids should be done!

I think it is quite stunning as well!

918 Spyder plug-in hybrid concept is powered by a V8 that develops more than 500 horsepower and electric motors on the front and rear axle with an output of 218 horsepower. Combined power output is an impressive 708 horsepower!

Purely on electric power it has a range of up to 25 km (16 miles).

As the engine is positioned mid-ship, in front of the rear axle, it gives the car excellent balance and the right set-up for supreme performance on the race track.

0-100 km/h comes in just 3.2 seconds, top speed is 320 km/h (198 mph), and a lap time on the Nürburgring is less than 7:30 making it faster than the Porsche Carrera GT.

What really impresses, is the fuel economy! Average fuel economy is just three liters per 100 kilometers (78 mpg) and the car emits just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
