I've read that the 918 is now (for customer rides, I imagine) limited to 6k RPM and that the production version will go up to 9k RPM. I think it probably sounds awesome now and, as it was previously stated in this thread they said sound is not yet definitive. I bet this car will have one hell of an exhaust note, I think it will not dissapoint.

Here's the article I read this from: What It's Like To Race In Porsche's $845,000 Hybrid Hypercar

I absolutely agree. To me, this car is being severely underestimated. And yes, in the article I just posted the guy who wrote it and had a ride said it was limited to 6000 RPM!

The problem with the 918 is the price. Zonda F's can be had for 20-30% more...



Porsche's never had souls to begin with, I don't get what the fuss is about? I mean Hitler had design inputs....
