What exactly is the point of having a hybrid supercar? Any fuel you save driving slowly in hybrid mode would just be wasted when you gun it.

this car will be faster than the gt so i'm sure it'll make you shit your pants. they have the other greener options so that when you're patrolling downtown or something you keep your emissions in check

The amount of innovation that can enable a car of this performance to achieve such ridiculous mileage is stunning.

this is the way of the future (and I'm a huge advocate of combustion sports cars.)
things will have to go in this direction (huge weight reduction + innovative power plants)

the thing about the 918 is that it's a fully functional prototype, and it slated to head into some form of production soon!

and I can guarantee all the haters that this thing will blow the doors off nearly anything else on the market.


ps. anyone check out the newly released GT2 RS?

batshit crazy......

ugliest wheels i have ever seen. center console is monstrous whole car is pretty ugly over all. interesting concept though. as a daily driver you could save a shit ton of gas and then take it to the track and use it in track mode or whatever.

haha, not the answer i was expecting.  but still, to say its not fun to drive because of the computers in it, is a bit of an understatement.
