Report: Porsche 918 Spyder to contest 2011 Nürburgring 24 
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

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