All New Porsche's stinging spyder grows closer to becoming reality


The first fully road-going prototype of Porsche's upcoming 202-mph hybrid-powered 918 Spyder has been seen during shakedown runs at the company's R&D center in Germany.
Sporting a look reminiscent of the 918 Spyder concept first displayed at the 2010 Geneva motor show—with a strong resemblance to the RSR version revealed later—the supercar is set to crown the Porsche lineup when it debuts next year with a price of $845,000.

At the rear are more prominent haunches over the wheels and a longer overhang, presumably necessary to house the advanced gasoline-electric driveline concentrated within the bottom half of the structure to provide the lowest possible center of gravity.

The 918 Spyder channels power via a single-gear transmission on the front axle and a seven-speed dual-clutch unit at the rear. With a curb weight that Porsche describes as being less than 3,748 pounds, the supercar is claimed to hit 62 mph in 2.8 seconds.

Assembly will be limited to 918 cars, with the first example set to be revealed on Sept. 18, or 9/18 as it's known in some parts of the world.
