Am I the only one who would rather see a 767hp NA 3.4L V8 spinning at 10,000+ rpm or even a TT V8 in this car rather than a hybrid powertrain?
Perhaps its time for Zeus to hang up his racing cap and find another hobby.
Take a look at this video, and listen carefully why is 918 Hybrid so important to Porsche. For them, easiest job is to make 767 hp engine. Why did they make hybrid...Because all future of Posrche cars depends on it.

There's one motor on either side of the front wheels.

Ah yes...we would all love to live on a planet with limitless pollution-free energy while rolling around in glowing plants in the joyous and happy hippy times of our utopian future. I have seen this video, yes, and I am well aware why Porsche is going down this road.

Since you are new here I'll give you some rep for your input.

But I'll let you in on a few secrets that only my fellow Teamspeed members know about me personally: I prefer my women Asian, I prefer my wine Red, and I prefer my supercars to breath air & spit fire.

Thanks for coming.

that's the hybrid fly-wheel; it won't be in the civilian version.

Spyder will be a coventional hybred with battery storage?
