    Post Geneva: Porsche 918 Spyder Concept

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
