This is for the first time we get to see the Porsche 918 Spyder in action. This car is the replacement for the legendary Carrera GT and it’s a hybrid, but don’t despair because it’s a not a hybrid like Prius is a hybrid! It’s got a racing-bred 3.5-litre V8 mated to three very sophisticated electric motors developing a combined 700+ bhp. Don’t miss this video of the car, you might get bored with speeches of design chief Michael Mauer as he keeps saying “Ze Future”, but jump to 1,45 when they fire up the car and let its magnificent engine noise melt your brain!
