Porsche has been making some of the world’s finest sports cars for decades. Nowadays, they are also a leading producer of hybrid vehicles. Keeping this in mind, it is fitting that Porsche would create one of the most technologically advanced and expensive hybrid hypercars ever created: The 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder. 

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder 

This car was made to be different from any other vehicle in the market, with two electric motors and a 9,000rpm 4.6-liter racing V8 contained within a two-seat roadster frame that’s almost entirely carbon fiber. Four-wheel drive, 875 bhp and an even more incredible 944lb-ft of torque (yes, you read that correctly), with over half available at only 800. 

 

At first glance, the Porsche 918 Spyder looks like an average two-seater roadster. But look a little closer, and you will be able to see that there are some very interesting features hidden beneath its carbon-fiber skin. The 918 is unique because it has four electric motors, which power not only the front wheels but also the rear ones, making this vehicle one of the most technologically advanced cars on earth. Not to mention that it can do 0-60mph in 2.6 seconds. The Porsche 918 Spyder is not just any hybrid hypercar – It’s a hybrid hypercar like no other. 

Porsche is known for its superior engineering, and when it came out with the latest version of its most famous model, the 911, it was a huge success. Even though this vehicle is not as powerful or fast as other cars in its category, many people believe that Porsche’s craftsmanship makes up for these shortcomings. 

911 spyder vs. McLaren P1  

The Porsche 918 Spyder is not your average supercar. Compared to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, you can purchase two versions of the vehicle. Weissach package 918 is designed for customers who may want a more performance-oriented finish along with the standard car. The Weissach package includes a carbon-fiber roof, rear wing and windscreen frame in an unpainted weave. 

 

There is also an option of sticker packs that take inspiration from the classic 917 race cars. Furthermore, the Weissach package includes the magnesium wheels, which save 14kg, reduced sound insulations that cut cabin weight, driver and passenger six-point seat belts, and front-wheel arch aero flaps, which increase downforce drag-reducing winglets. 

The Weissach 918 is exceptionally light and agile, going three seconds quicker than the standard car around the Nurburgring. It set a 6 minute 57 second lap time at the Nurburgring.  The 918 Spyder offers hypercar performance but with economy-car fuel efficiency. It can consume up to 94 mpg and will run exclusively on electric power for up to 18 miles at speeds of 93 mph. 

Performance and 0-60 time  

 While the P1 provides a faster door-to-door experience, Porsche’s superb traction and fuel efficiency make things more competitive in real-world driving. 

Engine and gearbox 

 The 918 Spyder’s sharply-revving engine and gearbox recreate the feeling of an exciting racing car, creating a high-tech driving experience unlike any other. 

Ride and handling  

The electric motor 918 is heavier than the other hypercar models and, due to this added weight, it isn’t as agile. The active rear-axle steering, which aids agility, is quick and weighted. 

Prices, specs and rivals  

Cars in this category are expensive, but the 918 offers more than its competitors. 

Interior and tech 

The 918 is an exciting sports car and an elegant vehicle, with a wonderful cabin and retractable roof. Carbon composite materials make up the body of both models. 

Design 

The 918 draws from the Carrera GT when it comes to design with a different silhouette.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is the most technologically advanced and expensive hybrid hypercar ever created. It offers a top speed of 214 mph, can accelerate from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, and produces an astonishing 887 horsepower. This car will set you back $1 million, but it’s worth every penny.
