After a glimpse of the hybrid supercar as it cruised by and dived into a massive sea of media and Porsche fans, all your other senses shut down automatically to better hear the glorious exhaust note of the V8. The unsuspecting would have concluded that a Le Mans prototype race car was among their midst, however, according 918 Spyder's project leader, Dr. Gernot Döllner, the engine is a 3.4-liter V8 derived from the Audi parts bin. Add to that ingredient, not one but three electric motors totaling a combined 718 hp for a better power to weight ratio than the Carrera GT predecessor.
And you can plug it in to achieve an estimated 78 mpg!
