Production of the Porsche 918 Spyder has been sold

If you just play the EuroMillions and tempting option you are considering buying a Porsche 918 Spyder, I fear that you arrive late. Apparently, and as pointed GT Spirit via a Dutch dealer of the brand, producing the spectacular sport of Stuttgart and have been sold, at least the units for the European market. Being a two-seater that only 918 units will be manufactured at a price of 645,000 € the piece (excluding taxes), the thing has enough merit. According

the source, the dealer in question has concluded that all European units and has an owner, and that they have sold two of them. If true, this speaks volumes about the interest that the new 918 Spyder has raised everywhere, as the blue book was opened in late March (two days ago, as they say) and that its production, meanwhile not begin until 18 September.

What makes this car model as desired? Well several things. To begin with, the aesthetic is virtually identical to the 918 Spyder Concept presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, which is a success (believe me when I say that pictures do not do justice this car). However, what differentiates the 918 from all competition is what lies under the hood. This is the first hybrid model social benefits of the brand, and equipped with an engine that, overall, is capable of rendering an output around 718 horsepower.

The base is a 4.0 V8 engine derived directly using the Porsche RS Spyder LMP2. This engine will send no more and no less than 500 horsepower to the rear axle through a double-clutch PDK and seven relationships. Two electric motors, one located on each axis, are responsible for providing additional 218 horses bringing the total up to 718 horses. Without doubt, this is too few numbers to consider.

benefits in this respect, live up to expectations, being able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 320 km / h. But best of all is that despite being a super-fledged sport, that can run all-electric mode at speeds up to 150 km / h.

is curious to see how the same story and was repeated with the 911 GT2 RS a few months ago, and is likely to happen again with the GT3 RS 4.0. Not to mention the Aventador or the Ferrari 599 GTO. Whether you reserve the model because we like, or simply because we want to speculate on it, which is a fact is that when a brand speaks of "edition limited "or units counted, who hesitates is lost ... although the price of" freak "with something like € 700,000.
