Autoblog reports:
"Porsche made an impressive showing at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring this year911 GT3 R Hybrid. But don't think for even one power-boosted second that its hybrid initiative was a one-time affair for the Stuttgart-based automaker. Not, at least, if the latest reports from Germany prove accurate.

According to Auto Motor und Sport, mere days after the conclusion of this year's race, Porsche is already preparing to campaign a competition-spec version of the 918 Spyder at the Ring next year. The 918 Spyder concept debuted just a few months ago at the Geneva Motor Show to rave reviews. Derived from the same program that gave birth to the 917, 911 GT1 and RS Spyder, the 918 Spyder packs 718 horsepower of combined output, 90 miles per gallon and a simulated Nordschleife lap time of 7:30, making it an ideal machine to contest the grueling endurance race."

this is a hope-speculation imho..I think more on 2012..they are still deciding to sell the road-car (will be hybrid ?personally I have doubts about...let's see) when they reach 1000 orders(now 900).After introduction could be a good marketing ads win the 24h ring ;)

The revival of my thread.

Who can point out what's wrong?

Nürburgring Nordschleife Lap Times:
2004 Carrera GT......7:28
2010 GT2 RS...........7:18
2011 918 Spyder.....7:30 (estimated)

A limited edition every decade Porsche isn't supposed to be the fastest Porsche, but the best Porsche.

The Teamspeed 918 Lives!!

That's just them being modest. Every single time without fail that they mention performance numbers they are always conservative. Have faith! :)
