Sorry to be a killjoy but IMHO what's wrong with this car ?
A/ the battery and hybrid technology will be out of date in just a couple of years
B/ all the electric crap makes it 1700 kg (!)
C/ 4wd is just proper boring in a Supercar
D/ 918 to be built . That's too many , the current market is just not strong enough to support 918 Porsches , 400 f1 replacements , 400 new enzos , new ksegg and the pagani uryagh (?) all coming in at or over the 1 million euro mark .
A lot of people are going to be surprised and not in a pleasant way ...

I'm sure it will be a fantastic car but I think the front and rear looks like two different cars. We'll see once the wrap goes of!

I don't mind what they are trying to do with the hybrid technology, but I would really want to see a model with a proper engine. Forced induction/V8 or V10. The batteries are going to add so much weight and in a few years not be as effective and need to be replaced which kills the value of the car.
