The Geneva Motor Show will be held starting from 4 March 2010. Porsche as a participant already prepare a surprise for sport car lovers. They are currently preparing a concept car that describe as a super sport car. They named this super sport car as Porsche 918 Spyder.
The Porsche 918 Spyder will be powered by single mid engine sport. This engine is a contradiction between environmental friendly technology and magnificent power. Porsche called this feature as ecology vs performance. The hybrid engine and conventional engine.
For the hybrid plugin engine, the emission of this engine is very low. And the econimic side of this car is reflected from the fuel consumption that only need 3.0 liter for 100 kilometers…waw..its good and only 70 grams CO2 per kilometer. If you look at the performance of this 918 Spyder, it was surprisingly. The V8 configuration engine can boast up to 215 hp and this car can run from 0 to 100 km in just 3.2 second. And top speed is at 320 km/h.
How does a supercar have such range? Well, the 918 Spyder concept is a parallel hybrid just like your mom’s Prius (well not just like). That means the two powertrains, gas and electric, can operate together or separately to motivate the wheels into motion. There are no less than four modes that configure the powertrains for anything from maximum efficiency to maximum performance and everything in between. The E-Drive mode means pure electric power, and the car can reportedly last up to 16 miles on electrons alone. Next up is Hybrid mode, which is just what it sounds like and would probably be the mode for everyday around town driving.
