2014 Porsche 918 Spyder Spy Photos
Porsche released official photos of the 918 Spyder prototype testing, but we now have spy photos to show you, with a few more angles of the hybrid supercar.
The 918 will use an all-new hybrid setup from the German company with a mid-mounted V8 engine and two small electric motors that will produce around 770 hp.
Believe it or not, that isn’t the best part. It’s also expected to get around 74 mpg. A carbon-fiber monocoque body and aluminum frame will be used in the car to keep the weight under 3, 700 lbs. making it a true supercar. It’s is also slotted to get adaptive rear steering, adaptive aerodynamics and a unique exhaust system that has its tips pointed upwards.
The 918 Spyder will begin production in the beginning of 2013, and should be available for delivery by late 2013 or early 2014. Expect the car to cost somewhere around $850,000.

As exciting as this is, the 918 doesn't sound like it will be competitive with the Ferrari Enzo successor.
