From Guest Blogger Christopher Austin: Porsche 918 Spyder Plug-In Hybrid Could Be Their First True Green Car

Recently releases, Porsche’s new model – the 918 Spyder – seems quite promising. It is the perfect blend between a Carrera GT, Boxter and 911. The design is a blended concept, and experts in the auto business argue that it is the first 100% green car that Porsche has ever made. (Really? Auto experts believe this is a “100% green car?” I’d like to speak with them.  – ed)

Featuring a sleek, enticing design, the model seem even more beautiful than the non-hybrid Boxter variant. Incredibly fast, rumor has it that the vehicle packs a hybrid V8 hybrid engine, and a relative power that can get to 700hp.

Porsche 918 Spyder – powerful, fast & beautiful

The latest 918 Spyder from Porsche claims to be the most powerful and efficient sports car on the market. It reaches full speed in less than 7 minutes; this means that it faster that the famous Carrera GT. Porsche has the highest chances of making this model the coolest of all other exotic cars currently available in the marketplace. Furthermore, some experts claim that it is more usable and reliable than its main competitor, Ferrari.

What’s on the inside?

Porsche 918 Spyder is a 2-seat road-tuned high-tech racing vehicle that’s worthy of a seat in the supercar sector. On top we have LaFerrari and McLaren P1, but Porsche is slowly wining ground. All three models were manufactured using carbon tubes; their powertrains was augmented with hybrid power thus completely redefining the auto industry. This sector in particular is called the “hypercar” sector because the vehicles are exotic, fast, and incredibly advanced on the inside.

The electric driving feature alone is a huge chance. It matters because the demand for hybrids and eco-friendly vehicles has increased tremendously in the past five years. The good news is there aren’t too many green vehicles that are also fast on the market; and that should be Porsche’s main trump card.

The 918 Spyder has been manufactured to run at an outstanding speed – 150 kmh, which is a lot faster than any other hybrid currently on the market. It also packs a powerful V8 engine, 4-wheel driving and an output of 661 kW. What’s outstanding about this vehicle is that it is lightweight; this compels it to reach a top speed of 340 kmh. The 918 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 2.6 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km/h in roughly 7.2 seconds.

Porsche 918 Spyder – main features

There are lots of comments overseas praising the 918 Spyder. Some argue that it is a brilliant vehicle with the coolest, quietest engine and most sophisticated design. Incredibly easy to manage and featuring smooth steering, the car feels alert and due to the V8 engine the driving experience is a lot smoother. Hypercars should be designed to impress, and Porsche 918 is hands-down one of the most impressive vehicles that the company has ever manufactured.

Featuring upright and firm one-piece moulded seats, the 918 packs advanced tech gear on the inside. It is actually highly communicative and direct, and the quality of the ride is precise and fluid. The car’s handling balance is helped by the 4-wheel steering, which gives the impression of a longer wheelbase. The punch is quite incredible as well, particularly when it functions in isolation. When you’re behind the wheel, the electric motor in the front isdeeply felt when accelerating.

Outstanding engine

The design of the latest Porsche 918 is outstanding; as well as the engine. The powerful V8 motor makes the most authoritative but adequate kind of noise. Switching through driving modes is done effortlessly. All you have to do is switch on a small rotary controller positioned on the right side of the wheel. The red button you’ll stumble upon is pure gold; the car will reach full speed and the driving experience will exceed all your expectations.

We love Porsche’s latest 918 Spyder because it is outstanding from all points of view. It surpasses all other green vehicles on the market; it is powerful, fast, good-looking and tech-enabled. The outstanding Porsche accessories included make this model a signature car that can’t be overlooked when seen on the street. The 918 Spyder is still in concept model, but from what we’ve seen thus far we have high-hopes that it will wow all of its avid Porsche fans.
