The base model will come with two electric motors paired with a 4.6 liter V8 engine and there are no suggestions that the track package would see any improvements. This means the model will continue to produce a combined output of 770 PS (566 kW / 759 hp).

The standard production model is set to achieve a 0-100kph (62mph) time of 3.0 seconds and we would expect a slight improvement on this with the minimal weight loss. The top speed however, will remain the same at 325 kph (202 mph).

Porsche expect around 20% of the 918 Spyder customers to take the upgraded package, although they must be ready for a premium price.

I don't care if its some kind of "traditonal livery" either. Which other company has done this recently? I can't think of any.

Not that it matters, the fact that we are arguing over something so benign is silly. I already stated I liked the car (despite not even liking Porsches) which saids a great deal about how great this car is going to be. Cheers.
