Porsche 918 Spyder


Though this car is not in production yet but it is given the green light to start manufacturing the car. It is believed to be launched as a limited edition. It showcases Porsche's hybrid technology which is called the Porsche.Intelligent.Performance (P.I.P). P.I.P started with the Cayenne Hybrid which it powered by a 3.0 turbo taken from an Audi S4 coupled with a electric motor followed by a Panemera Hybrid and the third installment is the 918. Powered by a 3.4 V8 racing engine and three electric motors. Combined will produce a whopping 700 horsepower. The car was first launched at the Geneva motor show and it came as a surprise as no one expected Porsche to come out with a new car so soon. They have also been quiet about this as no early information leaked out. It is a beauty but expect a 500,000 euro price tag.
