The amazing Porsche 918 looks
set to start a brand new chapter in the world of supercar
performance when it goes on sale in 2013. Porsche is planning to
build just 918 of the mega-fast hybrid, and buyers will have to find
£650,000 to get into one. The 918 marks the arrival of a new breed
of supercars that not only deliver stunning performance, but also
exceptional economy.
The 918 uses both a mid-mounted 4.6-litre
V8 engine producing 562bhp and a trio of electric motors to deliver
a sub-3 second 0-62mph time, a claimed 202mph top speed and yet an
average of 94mpg in the official EU fuel test.
Naturally, we
were keen to find out more, so when Porsche offered evo a chance for
a very early ride in a development car, we jumped at the chance. You
can read the full story in issue 169 of issue, on sale 28th March.
But to give you a taster of what to expect here’s a short video of
evo’s editorial director and founder Harry Metcalfe giving us a
quick tour around the only fully working development car.
What an astonishing machine. A techological marvel. It's going to be a big old beast wifth wise when its released.
