The Porsche 918 Spyder marks the start of a new chapter in the future of the hybrid drive. It embodies the essence of the Porsche idea, combining pedigree motor racing technology with excellent everyday suitability, and maximum performance with minimum consumption. And the technology pioneers are not the only ones who are excited by this flagship project, as the 918 Spyder demonstrates the potential of the hybrid drive to a degree never seen before, achieving a parallel improvement in both fuel efficiency and performance without compromising on either. This is the idea that has made the Porsche 911 the most successful sports car in the world for the past 50 years. In short, the 918 Spyder contains the genetic blueprint for the Porsche sports car of the future. The core message surrounding the 918 Spyder is that the Porsche hybrid drive offers uncompromising dynamic performance. The unique all-wheel drive concept with a combined combustion engine and electric motor drive system on the rear axle and a second electric motor on the front axle make this possible. The additional, individually controllable front-wheel drive enables new driving strategies to be used for extremely high yet safe speeds through bends in particular. What's more, the advanced "boost" strategy manages the energy of the electric drive so intelligently that the unrestricted total power of the 918 Spyder can be accessed simply by fully depressing the accelerator pedal for every burst of speed at maximum acceleration. In short, the Porsche 918 Spyder allows even drivers without motorsport training to experience the potential of advanced longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The 918 Spyder continues a long tradition of super sports cars at Porsche. Many of these vehicles have set technological benchmarks and have become the ultimate sports cars of their decades: the Carrera GTS, the first Porsche Turbo, the 959, the 911 GT1 and the Carrera GT. More so than any of its predecessors, the 918 Spyder is providing the key momentum for developing technologies for future vehicle concepts. The Porsche 918 Spyder features all the components that reflect the Porsche DNA in a format that is more powerful than ever before. Powertrain • 4.6-litre, eight-cylinder engine: 608 horsepower (453 kW) at 8,500 rpm and 528 Nm (389 lb-ft) of maximum torque • Engine speeds of up to 9150 rpm • Power output per liter of approx. 132 bhp/liter - 26 bhp/liter more than that of the Carrera GT, making this the highest specific power of any naturally aspirated Porsche engine. • Two electric motors delivering an additional 279 hp • Total system delivers 887 hp (661 kW) and 1,280 Nm (940 lb-ft) of torque • Hybrid module comprises a 115-kW electric motor - can be powered at the rear axle either individually by the combustion engine or the electric motor, or via both drives together. • Seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission • Independent all-wheel drive: Front axle with electric motor - 95 kW of power at the front axle • Lithium-ion battery with plug-in charging system - liquid-cooled • Five operating modes • E-Power: 16 to 32 kilometers on purely electric power. Accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under seven seconds and can reach speeds of up to 150 km/h. • Hybrid: electric motors and combustion engine work alternately • Sport Hybrid: combustion engine operates continuously. The electric motors are activated to support acceleration through the electric boost function • Race Hybrid: combustion engine is chiefly used under high load, and charges the battery whenever the driver does not require maximum power. The electric motors provide additional support in the form of boosting in this mode too. • Hot Lap: releases the 918 Spyder's final reserves and can only be activated in "Race Hybrid" mode. Pushes the traction battery to its maximum power output limits for a few fast laps and uses all of the available energy in the battery. • 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds • 0-200 km/h (120 mph) in 7.2 seconds • 0-300 km/h (190 mph) in 19.9 seconds • Top speed of 218 miles per hour (351 km/h) Chassis • Multi-link chassis • Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) adaptive shock-absorber system • Rear-axle steering - electro-mechanical adjustment system at each rear wheel. The rear axle can be steered in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the front wheels. • Specially tuned Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires - 265/35 ZR 20 for the front axle and 325/30 ZR 21 for the rear axle • Weissach package - super lightweight magnesium wheels reduce the unsprung weight, six-point seatbelts for the driver and front passenger, an optional film coating instead of a paint finish, plus additional aerodynamic add-on parts in visible carbon fiber. • Porsche Active Aerodynamic (PAA) - adjustable aerodynamic elements works in three stages, switching automatically between optimum efficiency and maximum downforce
