Sometimes, words cannot describe a feeling. But in this case, a simple figure can. Location: Nürburgring, Nordschleife. Car: Porsche 918 Spyder. Lap time: 7 minutes, 14 seconds. Equipment: Optional Weissach Package, street-legal tires. Any questions left?

I believe that when the 918 is going to be very impressive. Yes it's not light, but it is pushing the boundaries in a very different direction. & look at the GT3R Hybrid...didn't it do well in competition? The 918 has taken many systems & knowledge from that car.
Plus it looks awesome!
Now if I just had the funds.....

7:14 ring time was not on "pure" road tyres as wrote Porsche...

The futuristic Porsche 918 Spyder produced the fifth fastest lap ever posted by a production car round the Nürburgring’s famous Nordschleife loop. The German supercar was equipped with Michelin tires.
The hybrid 770hp Porsche 918 Spyder featured Martini livery and ran on Michelin Sport Cup+ tires (front: 20 inches / rear: 21 inches) as it completed the daunting 20.832km circuit in 7m14s, comfortably under the targeted 7m22s.
The ‘Plug-in-Hybrid’ Porsche 918 Spyder is still undergoing development but should be available for sale in a year’s time. Its rivals in the supercar market will be the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari F70
