It's not a typo. Porsche's latest only needs 3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometre.
And there's more: the 570-horsepower V8 918 Spyder is a rechargeable hybrid. When the two electric motors (25 km autonomy) kick in, power goes up to 770 horsepower. No surprise then that the Spyder reaches 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds.
The Carrera GT could "only" manage 3.9 seconds.
Porsche's newest two-seater, a monocoque chassis reinforced with carbon fibre also features a 7-speed double-clutch gearbox, a two-piece removable roof and an exhaust system routed to go over the engine hood - a world premiere - in order to keep hot gases away from the batterie stocks.
Price stag for the Spyder will be €775,404, which comes up to approximately $992,000. Only 918 units will be built, most of which for the North American market. Production will start in September 2013 and delivery a few months later.
