Step aside Prius ....

The greenies might even like this one .... or maybe not ... who cares.

I know it's not something that the Joe Public can afford ... but perhaps one day all cars will be like this or better

The Porsche 918 ... God it's pretty!! I want one!!


















Genf. Michael Macht, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, presented the Porsche 918 Spyder concept car at its world debut this evening in Geneva. This mid-engined two-seater combines the performance of a super-sports car with the CO2 emissions of a small compact, an innovative plug-in hybrid concept reducing emissions to just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre and fuel consumption to 3.0 litres/100 kilometres (94 mpg imp). Within this concept Porsche combines a V8 power unit delivering more than 500 hp and three electric motors with overall output of 160 kW.

In its design and interior architecture, the Porsche 918 Spyder combines classic elements with appropriate solutions for the future. Starting on Tuesday, March 2nd, at 8:15 am (CET), the Porsche 918 Spyder will also be presented at the Porsche Stand in Hall 6 of the Palexpo Building during the Geneva Motor Show.

And it laps the Nurburgring in less than 7min 30sec .. faster than the Carrera GT!!!

0-100km/h in 3.2 .. top speed 198mph

And I didn't know that Porsche made the world's first Hyrbrid electric car until today!!
