Eight years after the Carrera GT, Porsche is readying an all-new super car to sit at the top of their production tree. The new Porsche 918 will certainly outperform the Carrera GT, and by a large margin. But will be just as charismatic? The 918 is a hybrid, but just like the GT, its V8 engine comes from a Le Mans racing car. So don’t be mad at it yet because of its electric motors.

For now let’s stroll down the memory lane and join Aucocar’s Vicky Parrot as she goes for a drive in the old hero. Fortunately it’s not a case of ‘never meet your heroes’ for Vicky. She makes odd noises while driving the GT, which means she’s enjoying it, big time.
