The base unit will run around $1,030,000. The Porsche 918 Spyder, however, is not cheap. Just like the Audi nanuk quattro concept, the 918 features four-wheel steering that, according to Leftlane News, is the equivalent of adding 50 horsepower or removing 220 pounds from the car while on the track. it zaps power and gas) and provides up to 85 mpg Race Hybrid, which ramps up gear ratios, spins the electric motors at full tilt while throttling up the V8 and lastly Hot Lap, which puts all the ponies to the pavement in true ‘melt the polar caps, baby we’re going for speed’ style.

Porsche gave its latest halo car four drive modes: the standard E-Power, which provides an electric-only range of up to 18 miles at speeds up to 93(!) mph Hybrid mode, which works to give the driver the most efficient power delivery (i.e. Which, ironically enough, is actually faster than your soul can leave your body. With the V8 and both electric units spinning, 918 Spyder will do 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 0-124 in 7.9 seconds. This takes total system power output to an impressive 887 horses and 590 lb-ft of torque. The 918 Spyder has two more power sources besides the V8: a 154-horsepower electric motor also turns the rear axle while a 127-horsepower electric motor spins the front wheels.
Just as clever is the V8’s exhaust system, which doesn’t exhaust down or out the back but instead towards the sky, This not only makes for a very dynamic look from the rear of the car but also keeps the onboard lithium-ion battery packs from being overheated.
This means neither an alternator nor an air-conditioning condenser hinders the engine’s power output. ‘The cars are the stars.’ How automakers are electrifying the racetrackĬleverly, engineers designed many of the car’s accessories to be powered not by the V8 engine but by electricity.
