Porsche’s Heavyweight Hybrid Performance Car Contender
When the Tesla Roadster was first introduced, it was a niche that nobody had really considered before. A performance car that was ecologically friendly? It was a bit of a foreign concept at the time, but has since gained much traction. And although Tesla itself has been experiencing difficulties, tragedies, and setbacks, the larger automobile manufacturers are coming out with some really beautiful hybrids and EVs, adding more to the mountain that Tesla will have to climb if it gets out of its deepening hole.
We've already seen the Auid E-Tron and Ferrari's 599 Hybrid, and now Porsche has unveiled the 918 Spyder. Set to be on display at the Geneva Auto Show on March 4th, it sports a mid-engine V8, two electric motors, and a whopping 500 horsepower. It's mileage per gallon, you ask? A jaw-dropping 78.4. The Spyder's 0 to 62 clocks in at 3.2 seconds, and it's top speed is 198 miles per hour. Those are all impressive stats in and of themselves, but to pack all of these abilities into a car this beautiful is truly an amazing feat.
We'll leave you alone to drool now.
