Porsche 918 Hybrid

Porsche AG has anounced it has nearly reached its quota of 1000 potential purchases of its 918 Hybrid, so that they may begin production.

The 918 Spyder relies on a 500-horsepower V8 engine and electric drive-systems allowing the vehicle to go up to 25 kilometers on electric power. The two-seater limits gasoline consumption to three liters per 100 kilometers, emitting 70 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.
