Geneva: Porsche 918 Spyder Concept

[1SICKLEX]

Genf. Michael Macht, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, presented the Porsche 918 Spyder concept car at its world debut this evening in Geneva. This mid-engined two-seater combines the performance of a super-sports car with the CO2 emissions of a small compact, an innovative plug-in hybrid concept reducing emissions to just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre and fuel consumption to 3.0 litres/100 kilometres (94 mpg imp). Within this concept Porsche combines a V8 power unit delivering more than 500 hp and three electric motors with overall output of 160 kW.

In its design and interior architecture, the Porsche 918 Spyder combines classic elements with appropriate solutions for the future. Starting on Tuesday, March 2nd, at 8:15 am (CET), the Porsche 918 Spyder will also be presented at the Porsche Stand in Hall 6 of the Palexpo Building during the Geneva Motor Show.

agreed. i hate those paddles. i know it's faster/more efficient, etc but nothing compares to a real manual.

[Nerdsrock22]

Hottest Porsche I've seen in awhile. Dayum.

[G.C]

[Alan®]

holy hell. do want

[SloWRX]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Lambo and Ferrari just went outta business

[DVSRX-7]

Front end looks Ferrari-ish, but I love it either way, this paddle shifting shit has to go! Put the fucking clutch and stick shift back god dammit!!

[Brian*]

Wheels are gay... I like it though!

[roxie911]

FUCKING OMG!!! I know what I'm gonna be thinking about tonight....

[ItsBlack]

That........ looks fuck sick! (good sick)


The rear is a little weird but I'm sure it will grown on me.

[nreggie454]

That is awesome. Not too crazy about the wheels or paddle shift, but still bad ass nonetheless.

[VooDooXII]

That is hotter than the fires of hell and damnation...WOW!

I hope this is the styling direction that the new Boxter/Cayman are headed in.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Lambo and Ferrari just went outta business


Slow down there, it's just a concept and Ferrari already has the 458 slated to come out and it makes just as much power as the Porsche already. Once Ferrari throws the nannies out a la Challenge Stardale and Scuderia editions it will be even more hardcore.

[bdydrpdmazda]

I love the side profile shot but im just not feeling this thing overall...

Naw I noticed him. :yes:

[FoolsDrifFWD]

^ you a lie

[Atlblkz06]

That looks like Walter Röhrl? I'm sure he hates his job lol

[jnv255]

Looks like a 430 from the front. I like it

[Drummerboy]

I'm glad porsche changed up the front end. Almost all of thier cars have the same front end to me (except a select few). I'm not saying I don't like the look, but It's good to see some diversity.

This is a good point. Making everything look like a 911 is the wrong way to do it.

Consider the older days when you had the 914, 944, 928 looking unique to themselves.

[Franco Tirador]

wow, wow wow!!! hot fo sho

[turbolaser6]

gotta love porsche!

[Glade]

x2 that i one the main reasons i havent really liked a porsche model in almost 20 years.

[87 Turbo II]

Looks great from most angles, but the rear is a bit too busy.
