  • Porsche 'will build 918'

    Porsche boss Michael Macht says that staff in the firm are fully committed to building the 918 Spyder, the biggest shock - and hit - of the Geneva motor show.

    Taken from drawing to show car in under five months, the 918 mixes a 500bhp petrol V8 with two electric motors for a combined 718bhp. Porsche has calculated that it could be quicker than the old Carrera GT around the Nordschleife.

        I wonder were they are going to put the motors in the drivetrain; I kno GM in 2004 put electric motors in the rear wheels of an S-10 pickup allowing less power loss.

          Now see that is what's wrong with the Oil run America. Why don't we get cars like that over here in the states? Watching Top Gear all the time i'm like I want a Jaguar that runs 70 mpg. Or an Aston martin that runs 50 mpg. Fuck even Mercedes over there get better mileage! Fucking oil companies.

                Off the lot? I've never seen the cars that they drive here. Like for example the race they took from France to the top of England on one tank of gas.

                  yea that was a Jaguar XJ6, pretty sure that was available in 2005 when the model was out.

                  the one jeremy had was a diesel though. not sure if we had the diesel version.
