Did you get the opportunity to be a part of the Geneva Motor Show this year? If not, you may have missed the grand unveiling of the La Ferrari and the McClaren P1. While these cars appear to be at the top of the heap among the next racing greats, one reveal you definitely don’t want to overlook is that of the Porsche 918 Spyder.
While even its biggest fans are aware that the Porsche is heavier and “outgunned” by its competitors, the designers are saying that the 918 Spyder will be a tough challenge for them because of the speed it will offer from its torque-vectoring wheels and ability to gain speed through mid-corners.
The 918 can reach 60 mph in a maximum of 3.1 seconds, and this high performance hybrid car has an output of over 218 horsepower. Even with all of this power and speed, when driven well, the new Spyder can reach an unbelievable performance of 82 miles per gallon.
If you’re on the lookout for a new classic, the Porsche 918 Spyder will eventually be a multi-million dollar collectable, since the starting price tag is over $1 million.
