The Porsche 918 Spyder is more than just a hypercar, but the most exotic performance and technology play even available. The car, which first hit the scene in 2013, was one of the earliest production models to feature a hybrid powertrain consisting of electric motors and powerful internal-combustion engines–a new standard. The 918 Spyder is Porsche’s recipe for a sports car repetition, with elements of speed and high-tech aero mixing into claims of green motoring.
Design and Aerodynamics
Every drop of its exaggerated silhouette does indeed maximize performance, as this 2015 image of the Porsche 918 Spyder attests from off a driveway. This light weight, combined with the sleek body work actually designed to slice through air and add downforce as much reduce drag clearly means this a car that wants to go around corners. More actively, activity aero is also in play here with rear wings that pivot on the bodywork and underbody flaps integrated into combined effecting an adaptive diffuser. The pairing of these translates to a different sort of driving and in the end, that makes for some application aerodynamics while cruising at full linear speed or holding on each tire contact with our earth when exiting apexes. The body is constructed from a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) monologue for very high strength with minimal weight. Other design elements of the 918 Spyder include a removable roof made up from three individual panels, which when removed converts it to an open-top roadster. With its striking design and equally groundbreaking performance, the 918 Spyder is surely a perfect candidate for today’s car nuts’ bedroom walls. Powertrain and performance. Such a complex yet production-ready setup should be very exciting news. The powertrain is a 4.8-liter V-8 mated with two electric motors, the latter mounted at either axle (Japanese to each). The V8 in Rarity produces 608 hp, while the electric motors come up with another 282. Collectively, it brings the 918 to around 887 hp and a weight-class-topping level of torque. The powertrain enables 0-60 mph acceleration in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of up to potentially as much as 214 mph. There is an huge amount of grip for the car, and even though it may sound mad on paper Porsche says that it will still be anything but slow. The Porsche comes with electro-mechanical four-wheel-steer and active aerodyne to kick in all the magic that may be missing up front. The 918 is doing that, of course — just like every other Porsche, so this car can literally be driven in earnest more often than any comparable vehicle. The hybrid system is entirely… practical. It supports up to 12 miles of electric-only driving with zero emissions. This means, in other words: as a high-performance car the 918 Spyder is also eligible for use as city automobile with at low volume.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the Porsche 918 Spyder offers a good mix of technology and luxury along with little features that hint at its race-bred soul.

There are five driving modes in total for the 918 Spyder: E-Power, Hybrid, Sport Hybridi Race Hybrid iand Hot Lap. It allows you access to track-oriented motorsport modes that can dial-in the handling of both chassis (selecting between Race, Sport and Track) as well as powertrain settings where one setting is for max efficiency… or all torque delivered by selecting Attack mode. Production, Exclusivity Just 918 examples will be built throughout the entire production run, virtually assuring that the Porsche 918 Spyder–and likely in stock condition as well–sits right up there among history’s great collectible hypercars. Every car was previously engineered together in the Porsche plant at Stuttgart-Zuffen hausen by hand. The 918 Spyder was available with a long options list so buyers could pick and choose until they got their ideal spec.
Conclusion
The Porsche 918 Spyder, then; it’s more than a car – it has been an engineering tour de grandeur that turns most conventional wisdom about internal combustion and motorcars on its head. It does use the “918 Spyder” name for marketing reasons we already know and ultimately goes to show what’s possible on high performance motoring years down the line, however. The Bedrock Porsche, a pioneering example of the one-hypercar-per-decade generation to have seen light under its wing.
