I've been telling people this since I've been w/ Porsche; NO one is as good at keeping secrets are Porsche is in this industry.
They're almost military like with their secrets.

That looks awesome, but I hope it is not the next CGT. I am sad that everyone is going all green. I doubt there would be manual as well if there is a hyrbrid drivetrain (as I have yet to see one?) That would be epic fail. I am not holding my breathe hoping it has a nice cgt whine, either.

Here's a video of Chris Harris (EVO) talking with Wolfgang Dürheimer (Porsche Research and development) about the 918 Spyder Concept at the Geneva show.
Video Part 1
Video Part 2
Most of the info we already know, but I found it interesting. Especially the bit when he explains the features of the steering wheel.
Hope it's not a repost.

It is not , that's a popular misconception perpetrated mistakenly by the motoring press .
It is based on the engine from the lmp2 car , it's not the engine . They share very , very few parts .
