Porsche 918 Spyder was the production. The impressive supercar dropped jaws at the auto show in Geneva in 2010 to modernize its Carrera GT looks and super-powerful hybrid drivetrain, and is prepared to lose some of its impact on the travel show floor showroom.

For starters, their numbers remain the same headline – the combination of a V8 petrol engine and electric motors will deliver 718bhp-plus in combination with a fuel economy of 94mpg stated (more than any current production car in the UK , Prius and diddy diesel vehicles included) and CO2 emissions of 70g/km, which under current rules is equivalent to road tax free. Combined with a 3.2sec 0-62mph sprint and top speed 199 mph (and sub-7min 30sec designed around Nordschleife), and you have a hard drive in order to understand set of impressive figures.

The engine is a mid-mounted, high-speed eight-cylinder Porsche which he describes as’ more than 4.0 liters, and is based on the engine of the Porsche RS Spyder racing car, putting out “more than 500 horses. He directs the rear wheels via a gearbox seven-speed dual-clutch PDK, while there is an electric motor on both front and rear axles, giving the pair a combined 218bhp. This effectively makes the unit 918 Spyder on all wheels, with the system is said to be variable. Sounds to us like a large bias when the back coat complete, however.

Dubbed a plug-in hybrid, the Spyder can be driven around 20 miles on electric power alone and its lithium-ion batteries can be charged from household power outlets.

His eyes, inspected by these teaser sketches, will be very close to the 2010 918 Spyder concept while gaining removable roof panels (stowable front luggage compartment) to make it a hard top if desired. The order book is open now, with production limited to 918 cars and the price of € 645,000 excluding taxes. So, figure on paying around £ 700,000, more than double the cost of the Porsche Carrera GT, when new in 2004 …

Porsche Spyder 918 deliveries will begin in November 2013, and if this sounds like a long wait, do not worry: checking a box on the options list and you’ll have a Porsche 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder (pictured right) handed this summer as an interim car. There is an acid green color scheme and a special edition card to match your production number of 918 is added to an already stonkingly good 523bhp Turbo S. It is an expensive option box, but a coupe costs £ 125.865 and £ 133.553 cabriolet. Non-918 buyers will not be able to buy one.
