We should probably make this the official 918 picture and information thread

 

few other pics:

 

Hmm..interesting - I thought it was really the spyder engine..dont tell me its "cheap crap" as the 9A1 engine.. OK- sorry - its not really cheap crap - but it isnt made for motorsport either..and that alone for me wouldnt be acceptable at such a price..

 

Deffo not cheap crap , the engine is going to be a stunner . Just a pity to ruin it with 300 kg of unnecessary hybrid grubbins

 

Very progressive to mount the engine upside down like that. Hot air rises. Makes total sense. Can't believe it's taken this long for anyone to do this!

 

Not upside down as far as I know..

 

918 Sypder caught testing in Germany

 

Looks pretty sick! But I also agree that it would have been a better car with 300kg less weight and a 750hp naturally aspirated engine.

 

Couldnt agree more..but it definately looks much better than the first prototypes...they looked awful...this looks quite nice. Best Design from Porsche for some time..

However, like with the 991 - Porsche messed up the back. What I would be more interested would be its performance. If Porsche says they want to get 7:22 on the Ring - while 1,5 years having proclaimed a 7:18 for the GT2RS..then..

But I wouldnt buy one anyway..

 

mind blowing!!!

I love the racing tech that goes into it inspired from the GT3 R Hybrid
