The new Porsche 918 Spyder concept synthesizes racing abilities and electric mobility, offering an amazing suite of qualities: emission levels of about 70g CO2 per kilometer, when utilizing an average of 3 liters/100 kilometers. Its fuel consumption is about 78 mpg. Also, weighing only 3,285 (1,490 kg), the prototype offers supercar performances such as: accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3,2 seconds and a maximum speed of 62 mph (320 km/h). More than that, it scored a less than 7:30 minutes record on the Nurburgring track, outranking the Porsche Carrera GT - the pinnacle of the German company's series.

Porsche 918 is one of the three hybrid propulsion models which have been revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. This trio of the new Cayenne S Hybrid, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 918 Spyder Hybrid concept, demonstrates not just the qualities of this new technology, but also Porsche's innovative power, as a pioneering force in hybrid propulsion systems.

The new two-seated 918 Spyder model consists of a hybrid plug-in system, with a V8 engine that operates with the aid of air-cooled lithium-ion batteries, generating over 500 hp, at a maximum of 9,200 rpm, and 2 electric motors, placed on the two axes, with a maximum power of 218 hp (160 kW). The V8 engine is a version of the 3,4 liter one which is included in the RS Spyder racecars. Batteries also recharge while braking, using KERS, and while coasting. Chassis materials include carbon fiber reinforced plastic and magnesium and aluminium for a lower weight.

In the electric mode, 918 Spyder is capable of driving on a 25 km track. In hybrid mode, the car uses both the electrical engines and the fuel engine, depending on driving conditions, offering both great efficiency and dynamic ultra-performances. When you are in Sport Hybrid Mode, the car uses both propulsion systems, but tends to improve performance. Most of the generated power is directed to the back wheels. When in Race Hybrid Mode, systems are focused solely on pure performance, at the highest standard of track racing, pushing the engines to their limit.

In the centre console is a touch-sensitive control unit, which gives you intuitive control and enhances the direct operation of the car. Essential control units are located on the multifunction steering wheel. Other units that serve to customize your driving mode are illuminated and mapped such that the driver can call up various functions, such as the E-boosting button, when overtaking.

Many more innovative functions, like the Range Manager, activated on the center display, estimates your remaining range that you can cover with the remaining power, keeping you on an intuitive control of the choice of power or performance. If there are environmental alerts in cities, the Range Manager helps you estimate whether you can continue on electric power to reach your destination.

The German company announced its production in a limited series, proving that they will take the right approach towards combining efficient drivetrain concepts with supreme performance.
