We can’t afford it but the technology is looking pretty sweet on the upcoming supercar from Porsche. They posted this photo on Twitter today to let us know they are making progress.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is a mid-engined sports plug-in hybrid designed by Porsche and first shown as a concept at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. The Spyder is powered by a 4.6 liter V8 engine, developing 608 horsepower with two electric motors delivering an additional 279 horsepower for a combined output of 887 horsepower.
It is the second plug-in hybrid car from Porsche, after the 2014 Porsche Panamera SE-Hybrid. Porsche intends to manufacture 918 units.
The starting price is expected to be around $845,000.
