Porsche 918 Spyder (HW Exotics 5-pack)

The second car of the Exotics 5-pack is Porsche 918 Spyder.  Of course, i got it along with Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I really like the blue color on it.  It's one of my favorite. :)




The Porsche 918 Spyder debuted as 2013 HW Showroom - HW All Stars, and it continues until now.

Real Life.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is a mid-engined plug-in hybrid sports car designed by Porsche.  
Carrera GT + 930 Turbo = 918 Spyder.
The V-8 makes 608 horsepower, three more than in Porsche’s previous limited-edition flagship, the Carrera GT. But the 918 then adds roughly the output of another old flagship, the 930 Turbo, via two electric motors. One wedges in between the V-8 and seven-speed PDK transmission; the other sits aft of the front cargo hold. The battery pack sits low behind the passengers within the carbon-fiber monocoque. Total system output from the engine and motors sits at 887 horsepower and a maximum of 944 lb-ft of torque.  The 918 Spyder's 6.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack delivers an all-electric range of 19 km (12 mi) under EPA's five-cycle tests. This car has a top speed of around 340 km/h (210 mph).

The 918 Spyder was first shown as a concept at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. The production version was unveiled at the September 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.  The 918 Spyder is a limited edition sports car, with 918 units manufactured and sold as a 2014 model year. Production began on September 18, 2013, with deliveries initially scheduled to begin in December 2013.  The starting price was US$847,000.  The 918 Spyder was the second plug-in hybrid car from Porsche, after the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid.  The 918 Spyder was sold out in December 2014. The country with the most orders was the United States with 297 units.  Production ended in June 2015.
