Now this is a ride we have been waiting to see for a very long time!
Chris Harris - our favorite presenters when it comes to reviewing performance cars - was invited by Porsche to test a pre-production version of the 918 Spyder.
Of course, when you receive an invitation like this, you forget the
fact that you are not testing the finished car, that there is no time to
prepare and that you only get three laps in the driver’s seat; you just
take the first plane and go for the quick spin.
So,
what do you think, was Harris impressed by the upcoming 918 Spyder? We
bet he was, after all the 918 Spyder is powered by a V-8 engine combined
with a pair of electric engines, one powering the front axle and one on
the rear.
This system delivers a total of 887 horsepower and 920 pound-feet of torque and sprints the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and up to a top speed of 202 mph.
One
of our favorite parts was watching the Porsche rep in the passenger’s
seat as Harris whipped the crap out of the Automaker’s £20 million
project. It looked like he was on the verge of tears at certain points. VIDEO
