With a top speed of more than 320kmh and the ability to secure a less than three litres per 100km fuel economy rating, Porsche's multi-million dollar 918 Spyder is a vehicle of precocious talent. <\/p>\n
The 918, an experimental open-topped mid-engined supercar, does not hang around on its way to that top speed either, with a zero to \"sorry, officer\" time of under three seconds, which means it is quicker than Ferrari's new 458 and the Chevrolet Z07 Corvette. <\/p>\n
It all comes from a drive system that combines a fairly conventional mid-engined, 4.6-litre, rear-drive V8 with two electric motors, one for the front wheels and the second in the driveline to assist the rear wheels. It all works via a hybrid system boosted by the car's petrol power unit, as well as by energy drawn from the Porsche's brakes when they haul the supercar down from high speed. <\/p>\n
The V8 engine puts out about 570 horsepower and the electric motors conspire to help produce a total of 770kW, which is why the car can be so fast and yet so frugal on petrol. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
