I don't want anyone to misunderstand that I think this is anything short of a cool car. It looks great too. It's just that I don't think it's the right move. I would have preferred an 800 HP light weight monster or something to stomp the competition. There is no doubt that the hybrid drive train seems to be making some headway in the market. But when they don't get me interested, that says something. All of em know how many cars I've bought of theirs. It's just way too much up there from what they are producing.
That would have been a winner and certainly a solution to the current debacle in GT racing...

I understand that Porsche is trying to make the defining supercar of this era. But it'd be cool if they could build maybe 100 918 Hybrids with an ultra limited run, and then make all the rest PDK, Hybrid, and AWD free, and price them at $450k.

@ Raul, yeah it does. In fact, about six months ago, my uncle bumped into leno while he was also out in his. May not be an every day occurance, but with the amount of exotics around here, its bound to happen.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's bound to happen but it's not like driving around even an AMG or an M model and seeing another car like yours.
