Porsche has released a new video profiling some of the technology and inspiration for its new 918 Spyder, the hybrid sportscar concept that stole the Geneva motor show last month.
A production future for the 918 Spyder has not been confirmed officially, although it has been reported that the company is trawling dealer lists for potential customers who might be tempted to splash out on a road-going version of the car.
Porsche boss Michael Macht has told reporters 'there is no one inside Porsche who doesn't want to build the 918', and that the car could be on the streets within five years. Other sources have hinted at a limited production run of 1,000 cars if and when the project goes ahead.

Meanwhile this video provides an interesting insight into the future of performance motoring, with an all-too-brief dash of 917 archive footage thrown-in for good measure. Fever!
