Porsche 918 Spyder

The Porsche 918 Spyder is a limited-production high-performance hybrid sports car produced by Porsche. Designed by Michael Mauer and Hakan Saracoglu, the 918 Spyder acted as the successor to the Carrera GT and became Porsches flagship model; its design was presaged by a concept car of the same name shown off in 2010, with the concept car being so well-received the car was greenlit for production in this form. It is powered by a 4.6L M18.00 V8 along with two electric motors mated to a 7-speed PDK dual clutch; the engine produces 875 horsepower and is derived from the V8 used in the Porsche RS Spyder. The car features all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering. Developed in Weissach and assembled in Zuffenhausen, the 918 Spyder was priced at €781,000 in Europe and $845,000 in the United States. Production started on 18 September 2013 and ended on 19 June 2015, with 918 produced.
