By Design: Porsche 918 Spyder
Porsche 918 Spyder - Car Design Analysis - Automobile Magazine
Our Kind of Economy Car

It took 110 years for the Porsche car company to revisit its founder's concept of a hybrid powertrain with an internal-combustion engine plus electric motors. The Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the most astonishing concept cars ever presented, by anyone. To claim -- and be able to prove, no doubt -- that this missile can get around that crinkly old racetrack in the Eifel mountains faster than a Carrera GT and provide 78-mpg fuel economy (if you respect speed limits) is utterly amazing. Yet, given the source, it's much easier to believe those claims than to question them.

2011 smart fortwo: snazzy and coming soon to a dealership near you

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
The second generation fortwo, introduced in the 2008 model year, is already up for a facelift. That's quite surprising given that the first-gen fortwo went almost 10 years with little in the way of changes. The game-plan then was to introduce special editions and concepts on a regular basis in order to maintain interest. This time around and as competition grows around the World in the micro-car segment, Mercedes has decided, wisely we would add, to keep the diminutive car fresh and interesting. Full story...
