Porsche Leader "Troll" on 918 Spyder hybrid supercar
Even lower power and greater weight, but the Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid supercar is said to run faster than the Ferrari and McLaren LaFerrari P1, at least according to director James Eastwood of Porsche products.
Mr. James Eastwood has confirmed this in a recent interview with British magazine CAR.
The question that people will immediately is whether Porsche has upgraded the internal combustion engine and the electric motor of the car 918 Spyder (the capacity is 795 hp) to match the competitors say on (engine power over 900 hp) or not. And suddenly the answer is "No". So, how can a vehicle heavier, lower capacity to be able to run faster?
"We do not need to do that," Mr Eastwood said. "Although our heavier car, but the technology will help it run faster on both street and track. With the rear-wheel drive competitors such as our, you still have brakes before cornering clearance. Meanwhile, thanks to the front wheel drive configuration and torque independent of the orientation of the 918 car, we can ensure the smooth operation of the car, likely higher cornering speeds. "
Mr Eastwood said, adding that the car weighs 1.700kg Porsche 918 Spyder will after filling enough fuel and lubricants. However, Weissach package options will help reduce vehicle weight 50kg. And Mr. Eastwood said about 50% of customers have chosen this package.
About the 918 Spyder cars sold, Mr. Eastwood did not disclose specific, but said, Porsche did not have any problems. "We can not disclose sales, but despite producing greater quantities LaFerrari (499 units) and McLaren P1 (375 units), then we have nothing to worry about. Supercar manufacturer limited number of times before we - Carrera GT - has achieved sales of 1,275 units, "Mr Eastwood said.
Porsche is still key specifications of the final car 918 Spyder, but he said Eastwood, Porsche expects parameter will be improved compared to the present. Acceleration 0-100 km / h the car is now less than 3 seconds, maximum speed is 327 km / h (he is introduced as a concept, the corresponding parameter is 3.2 seconds and about 300km / h).
In late May 3/2011, Porsche announced the shocking price for this hybrid supercars - U.S. $ 845,000 and 645,000 euros ($ 911,400) in Europe, due to a number of taxes and fees.
