The 918 Spyder is Porsche's next supercar, following in the footsteps of the Carrera GT, the 911 GT1, and the 959. It's an 887-hp plug-in electric hybrid that proves performance and efficiency are not mutually exclusive. As project leader Frank-Steffan Walliser explains: "For the first time, the technical solutions support both lap time and fuel consumption."
After several laps behind the wheel and a full day investigating what makes it work, we're convinced that the 918 points the way to a bright future for sports cars despite ever-tightening fuel-economy and emissions standards. And while this $845,000 car is out of reach even for rich people, the lessons learned will make their way down to more affordable rides.
