Porsche reveals pre-production 918 Spyder
Tweet from Monterey’s motor week reveals actual, proper, road-going 918
A simple tweet from Porsche, and a picture: "The latest production version of the Porsche 918 Spyder at Monterey Motor Week".
UPDATE: It's not quite the final production
version: Porsche clarified this with an further tweet: "The image of the
918 Spyder is the latest pre-production version. The production version
will be unveiled at Frankfurt."
Still, we've seen it as a render, half-built and with special livery;
heck, we've even driven one (as you can read below). But this is the
first time we've seen an un-camouflaged, near-as-dammit, road-going
version.
A
quick recap then, if you permit: it's Porsche's top-dog hypercar, going
up against the LaFerrari and McLaren P1. It's a hybrid, too, sporting a
race-bred 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8, producing 608bhp, together
with a 149bhp electric motor on the rear axle, and a 129bhp electric
motor on the front axle.
That's right, it's a four-wheel-drive electric-hybrid Porsche
hypercar, producing a total of 886bhp (that's almost 100bhp up from the
original estimation). It revs to 9150rpm, it'll hit 0-62mph in under
three seconds, go from 0-125mph in under eight seconds, top out at
202mph, and emit just 70g/km of CO2.
