Today I will be discussing another Hybrid Hyper car. The Porsche 918 w/ The Weissach performance package.

This is Porsche's successor to the legendary CGT (Carrera GT). It's also Porsche's entry into the hybrid front. And much like McLaren and Ferrari, they chose to do it with a hyper car, and by having it be a successor to one of their track legends. At first you can tell it's a Porsche. It has sleek lines, and is generally timid. Not necessarily aggressive. But it isn't a car to be taken lightly.

It is the fastest production car to ever go around the Nurburgring (unless McLaren releases the P1's official time).

887 horsepower (both diesel and electric motors working parallel)
214 mph top speed
940lb per ft of Torque
67 MPG
7-Speed dual clutch (PDK)
3602 lbs
0-60mph in a supposed 2.5 seconds
1/4 Mile in 9.9 seconds

The numbers are there, and they are very impressive. This is a car I have grown VERY fond of. You grow an appreciation. Porsche is a company that I always sort of ignored. But with the 918 and the new 991 GT3, they are catching my attention, in a big way.

PRICE: $800,000-$1.09M. It is the cheapest hyper car on the market.

Next week I will be discussing the Pagani Huayra

Discuss.

That is the finest looking Porsche ever made. They really outdid themselves with the 918.

The only hyper I'd ever buy.

1 of the 3 I considered.

The first I considered, actually. It's the cheapest of the lot. Under $1M

It looks even better with Richard Hammond in it.

I love that little hamster.

That was at Abu Dhabi? Right?

Yas Marina I mean

Will you be my sugar daddy?

Sure bby

Hybrid

The P1 is 100+ MPG

I'd feel bad for somebody who brought one of those cars up here. In a few days of traveling on the grid roads it'd be a fucking mess.

You can get the stone guard, which protects from a lot of scratches and scuffs from gravel roads.

But, they'll still get under. Nothing a full detail can't fix

Really? Odd

I just prefer the looks of it. It's a little more striking than the 918.
