Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, news about the upcoming Porsche supercar heralds even more joy. The 918 Spyder takes its racing stripes to a whole new level.
It is exciting enough for fans of the German super marque and fans of speed and power in general to think about the impending release of the 918 Spyder. News just out of Stuttgart however has everybody on the edge of their seats.
Following the success of the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, and of course Porsche with its own 911 GT3 RS, the popular format of race-ready upgrade will soon be available for the 918 Spyder.
The 918 Spyder begins as being well-deserving of its place in the league of supercars. One wonders why Porsche would choose to mess with perfection. This mighty hybrid will merge together the best 4.6 litre V8 with a pair of truly environmentally-friendly electric motors. This propulsion team will see the total power output peak at 762 horsepower. For the 3748 lb car, it would seem to be the perfect recipe for speed and performance.
Looking at what is in store for the replacement of the legendary Carrera GT and 959 it is possible to see why Porsche have chosen the change however. The stripped-down race track pack not only focuses on the pace of the car, but goes even further in the power-to-weight ratio department. Bared-down to the bone, the paint less, modified interior, tautened-suspension, race car will be just what you need for a track day like no other. With 63lbs shaved off its already svelte-figure, one can only imagine the resulting driving dynamics.
With only 918 of the 918 planned for production, it is anticipated that about 185 of these will be available in this most hard-core of car formats when sales of the car start in about one year’s time. Book your track event now.
