Because of the global enthusiasm of the public and the customers, Porsche announces the launch of a series development of the Porsche 918 Spyder.

This concept version of an ultra-high-performance mid-engined sports car with plug-in hybrid technology hitted the headlines worldwide during the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and Auto China in Beijing.

Michael Macht, President and Chairman of the Board of Management of Porsche AG: “Production of the 918 Spyder in a limited series proves that we are taking the right approach with Porsche Intelligent Performance featuring the combination of supreme performance and efficient drivetrain concepts. We will develop the 918 Spyder in Weissach and assemble it in Zuffenhausen.”

The Concept Study of the 918 Spyder allows CO2 emissions of just 70 g/km, corresponding to fuel consumption of 3.0 litre/100 km for the performance of a super-sports car. This extremely efficient drivetrain technology then forms a symbiosis in the 918 Spyder with truly outstanding design and high-tech motorsport achievements.

Further product details of the 918 Spyder will be disclosed in the months to come.
