Go or no go? One of the questions left unanswered after the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The Porsche 918 Spyder drew more than enough attention at the carshow last week. Realized in under five months, the 918 combines a 500bhp conventional V8 with two electric motors up to a performance of 718bhp.
Autocar confirms that Porsche boss Michael Macht said that staff in the firm are fully committed to building the 918 Spyder. Great news!
There is no one inside Porsche who doesn’t want to build the 918. The response has been marvellous; we will ask buyers to sign letters of intent. The 918 Spyder provides the answer to whether there can be high-performance cars in the future. Many have said they are finished. This car shows they are not.
It will likely go on sale within five years.
