935k3 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 This was posted at another forum but I have read the details. It's called the 918 spyder concept and it's a hybrid with a top speed of abou 195mph and 0-60 at 3.2 seconds. It was unveiled at the Geneva Auto show.
Zoom Zoom Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Totally unexpected, and totally awesome looking car. Makes the hybrid Ferrari look...yuck How this company can do a car this cool, yet let the Panamera & Cayenne litter the landscape...
CAL Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) I saw that earlier on AW, pretty cool. They also have a Hybird RSR 911. Edited March 3, 2010 by CAL
Railfreak78 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I'll agree on a couple things here. This car is looking hot. I have not been happy with this company over the Cayenne Or a couple more I wont mention cause I don't want fights but this machine looks really hot.
935k3 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) How this company can do a car this cool, yet let the Panamera & Cayenne litter the landscape... I couldn't agree more. Another reason I hate the Cayenne is it is the reason Porsche has not had a prototype at Lemans since 1998. Edited March 3, 2010 by 935k3

Oh common, Porsche had some dogs with VW and Audi in the past. BTW the 918 has already been used. Is this Porsche's answer to running out of numbers, recycling them?
crispy Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Beautifully designed car. I was really in awe when I saw the pictures. Catches some great Porsche's in the design. I'm sure they know they have a hit on their hands. Fujimi? Aoshima? Dare I say Tamiya? Chris
Railfreak78 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I say that cause the newer "super Porsche" I don't know the # is fast and a masterpiece but I just could not dig the lines of it. The flow was wrong to me. It's hard to explain. This looks similar but a bit more rounded.

Makes the hybrid Ferrari look...yuck How this company can do a car this cool, yet let the Panamera & Cayenne litter the landscape... :huh: I doesn't really take much to make a Ferrari look yuke though....just throuhg a Prancing Horse on some remotely automotive, goofy shape and there you go Don't care much for the Cayenne, buit I do kinda dig the Panamera, then again I kinda have a thing for 4dr hatchbacks

The flow was wrong to me. It's hard to explain. This looks similar but a bit more rounded. The 980? Carrara GT Funny thing about that car is you can't trust any pictures of it. It looks totally different in person.
Modelmartin Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 BTW the 918 has already been used. On a car?? I am not familiar with that. There was a 718. I know how they assign project numbers to every little project and some don't see the light of day or are just a transmission or something but I haven't heard of a 918. The Cayenne and Panamera are pretty awful but I suppose they want to get some yuppy cash in their coffers.

jbwelda Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 that is one bad azz car! hope tamiya gets on this one. i really love those exterior rear view mirrors (cameras i take it?). gives me something to save my money for!
Modelmartin Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 It was the official internal designation of the 914/8 Aha! I know of both of them but didn't realize they had a type number. You learn something new everyday!
CAL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Aha! I know of both of them but didn't realize they had a type number. You learn something new everyday! Apparently so, Once upon a time I tried cataloging them all. You should know by now everything Porsche has a type number. It kind of mostly makes sense, but then there are some unexplained holes. There where whole series ranges not used or allocated to stuff never built. But pretty much all the 900 series numbers were used. Edited March 4, 2010 by CAL
sjordan2 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Knoxville, TN is not a hotbed of rare Porsches, but I just saw a Panamera the other day and it's a lot cooler in the flesh than the photos would indicate.
CAL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 It still has way too many doors. I got a pretty good idea what Dr Porsche would say about it.
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 this is old news..... LOL, but yeah it does look nice, i mainly like the sweet awsome looking interior! thats the coolest part of this porsche concept!
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) sjordan2-Knoxville, TN is not a hotbed of rare Porsches, but I just saw a Panamera the other day and it's a lot cooler in the flesh than the photos would indicate. Modelmartin-It still has way too many doors. CAL-I got a pretty good idea what Dr Porsche would say about it. i seen a new styling study of the 'new" 928, its based on the panamera, the new 928 styling study look good! i kinda like it! Edited March 4, 2010 by B_rad88
Zoom Zoom Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 It still has way too many doors. I don't mind the number of doors. I do mind the fact that it looks like a mis-shapen potato w/a Corvette front end. I wasn't impressed in photos, and in person it only gets worse. Great interior...but that exterior is beyond fugly.
CAL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 i seen a new styling study of the 'new" 928, its based on the panamera, the new 928 styling study look good! i kinda like it! They already did a 4 door 928 (a surprise b-day gift from the guys at the factory), Dr. Porsche wasn't happy about it either.
Harry P. Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Back to the original post... That is one seriously cool looking car.
B_rad88 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) edit: sorry harry...... um yeah i seen that 4door 928, lol. its intresting Edited March 4, 2010 by B_rad88
