| Porsche 918 Hybrid Gets the Green Light
http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1...ion-greenlight Quote: |
No time line has been given for when the car will be ready for the road, but we'd expect it to be at least a two-year lead-up to the first production models. Just in case you've forgotten how awesome the 918 Spyder Concept is: it's a 500-horsepower, 78-mpg, 9,200-rpm 3.4-liter V-8 hybrid all-wheel-drive sports car capable of 3.2-second 0-60 mph, 198 mph top speed, 16-mile all-electric range, and looks to stop traffic cold.

i'm all for saving a few trees if it doesnt sacrifice the driving experience. But given that it's Porsche, I'm sure it'll be good.

meh. | more like "hey look im a douche trying to look like I want to save the environment but it doesn't fucking matter since I'm never ever going to get 78mpg if I drive the car the way it was meant to be driven."
That aside, this car is HAWT.

the CGT concept was pretty similar the production version. with very very minor variation.
lets just hope the 918 would be 90% of what the concept was!
