Porsche 918 RSR hybrid race car from the 2011 Detriot Auto show
Give me the car shown above in coupe form with it's current paint color & livery - replace it's hybrid powertrain with a couple of turbo's, further strengthen the engine's internals & move up the redline a couple of thousand to yeald about 867-967hp, call it the 918RS - done.
Stroke me a deposit check. See what we can do. How about 100K? And pick your color as well. Arena Red?

If Porsche's objective is the Mclaren I am sure they cannot screw the price up...
We do not know how much the 918 Spyder will cost but maybe without all the Hybrid stuff it will have a big reduction in price?

being that porsche sells $1/4million 911s... the 918, regardless of drive, will be remarkably higher.

Having said that, the reviews on the new McLaren make it the best supercar on the market today

According to Wolfgang Durheimer ( Porsche's Executive Vice President ) there is the possibility that a 918 Coupe could be launched in the market.
From what he says this car would be very similar to the 918 RSR, it would have the V8 coming from the 918 Spyder but it would NOT be fitted with the Hibryd system.
This car would be built to "compete" against McLaren Mp4/12C.

This thing should be competing with the McLaren F1 replacement.

I see what you mean and I agree with you but according to the interwiev he relased to a Spanish Magazine he was reffering to McLaren and FIAT 458 Italia as "competitors" for this car.
