RE: Porsche 918 Spyder: leaked details
Discussion
Ah yes, thought so. It's a re-post. This was on the Porsche section yesterday.

The Porsche chaps are saying that at 1660kg it's rather on the heavy side for an outright sports car.

The relatively high weight probably means that they have fitted sufficiently large capacity batteries to ensure that this car...
... can complete most of the Euro emissions test cycle without turning the engine on, thus giving a totally misleading economy figure?something tells me that should you be able to find the necessary 800K euros to buy one the price of petrol & congestion charges may not be of utmost importance

Cool car, shame everything below the rear lights looks like a moulded yogurt pot kit car, still like it overall though, shame they couldnt make the boxster/911 look this good, normal porsche styling needs more of this in it.
Looking at those exhausts i wouldnt want to be sitting in it with the roof off with a slight rear breeze.. cough cough.. be like sitting behind a bus.

Why does it auger well for fuel efficient supercars? The EC figure is totally meaningless, is misleading and needs to be scrapped. You'd think Fiat's twin air engine would lead to fuel efficient small hatchbacks, but despite its EC figures from what I have read it does worse than normal engines in real world driving.
Seriously, it is time for an overhaul, especially seeing as the figure is linked to tax.
The greatest thing about this rather beautiful car is that it very, very clearly makes a total and utter mockery of the Eurocrats and their pathetic rules. Seriously, it is time for an overhaul, especially seeing as the figure is linked to tax.
I sincerely hope that the Tefals at Porsche pissed themselves laughing over their grotesque and comedic abuse of the rules laid down by a collection of fools.
