Just released from Porsche the 918 Spyder, the fasted hybrid/electric sports car. Who would have thought electric could be fast....Get this... this car can reach 100 mph in just 3.2 SECONDS!!! It also has a top speed of 198 MPH!
But how green is it? When driven properly it can reach 78 miles per gallon and only releases 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
What exactly powers this speed machine? The Spyder runs a 3.4 liter V8 and can rev up to 9200 rpms. It gets it extra power from electric motors on the front and rear axles which boosts it up another 218 horse.
The driver has the option of choosing to run the car on gasoline, electric or battery power depending on the driving conditions.
I have no idea what this car costs but I'm sure you can only imagine. You'll have to spend alot of green to be green with this car, but hey it makes hybrids look cool.
