Enthusiasts may step up, pop a bottle of bubbly and start celebrating now! Or better still, chuck out any bubbly plans and go the miser way and start saving up to grow immense bank balances, those to the tune of a 630 grand of US Dollars.
After reaching what is supposed to be a sound business case for the lusty 918 Spider concept hybrid sports car, which is the equivalent of a 1000 letters of intent to purchase this modern marvel, Porsche has finally given the word go to the engineers at Zuffenhaussen, their
manufacturing facility just outside Stuttgart for production.
Expect the car to hit the market in an year or two with that speculated hefty price tag. Technical specifications have already been much lauded with a V8 belting out 500BHP supported by 3 electric motors at the rear of the vehicle. The usual slew of variable electronic nannies are present to keep the right side of this car up on the autobahn when you decide to take the pedal to the metal also letting for the right amount of fun too. A seven speed PDK is on the cards as are a 0-62 mph timing of 3.2 seconds and a 198 mph top speed claim.
Needless to say, for what is a spiritual successor to the venerable Carrera GT and a marvel in recent automotive history, the world is waiting desperately!
