2012 Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Price
2012 Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Price - The Porsche 918 Spyder is now a plug-in hybrid reality. Porsche officially announced this morning the fabulously gorgeous 918 Hybrid first shown at last year's Geneva Motor Show is now a production reality with an eye-watering $845,000 price, a 500-plus horsepower engine and a plug-in electric powertrain. Do want.
The super car gets a 500-plus horsepower V8 engine mounted amidships and a plug-in electric powertrain consisting of two electric motors — one each on the front and rear axles — totaling an additional 218 horsepower and allowing for an all-wheel drive system with independent control of the drive force on both axles.
Electrical energy will be stored in a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from a standard household outlet. Electric-only driving range is expected to be more than 16 miles on the NEDC. Recharge time will depend on each country's electrical power network, but charging is expected to take about seven hours at 110V/10A in the United States. A quick-charge option is being evaluated to further reduce charging times.
