Exclamation Geneva: Porsche 918 Spyder Concept (updated, could cost $638,000)
Genf. Michael Macht, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, presented the Porsche 918 Spyder concept car at its world debut this evening in Geneva. This mid-engined two-seater combines the performance of a super-sports car with the CO2 emissions of a small compact, an innovative plug-in hybrid concept reducing emissions to just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre and fuel consumption to 3.0 litres/100 kilometres (94 mpg imp). Within this concept Porsche combines a V8 power unit delivering more than 500 hp and three electric motors with overall output of 160 kW.

In its design and interior architecture, the Porsche 918 Spyder combines classic elements with appropriate solutions for the future. Starting on Tuesday, March 2nd, at 8:15 am (CET), the Porsche 918 Spyder will also be presented at the Porsche Stand in Hall 6 of the Palexpo Building during the Geneva Motor Show.

Woowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly Porsche should it build the 918 Spyder like that. HOLY ****!!!!

Who needs a Lotus or Toyota FT-86 when there's this baby coming out. 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.

Only thing its really missing is for the side mirrors to have small LED screen on the inside of the car so you don't really need to turn your head that much to see cars coming on the left or the right side of you

I'm loving it.

It doesn't look like any Porsche now, but you know it's a Porsche.

What a way to evolve the design without destroying the family resemblance!!!

Pure sex. I love it. No way that drivetrain is a reality though.
