A pre-production prototype of the Porsche 918 Spyder was spotted on numerous occasions yesterday by different people on the streets roads surrounding the Nurburgring.
It seems that a total of five cars were brought to a track-day event there, and some automotive journalists like Chris Harris from Drive got to experience the thrills this new Porsche has to offer.
The 918 is powered by a hybrid drivetrain, which uses a 4.6-liter V8 (racing block) with 580 horsepower and two electric motors, one for each axle, producing an extra 280 hp.
Porsche’s own official figures suggest the 918 will do 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 330 km/h (210mph).
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
