I've visited the Gran Turismo Events EVO at the Nurburgring this week (16-17-18 september) and saw the new Porsche 918 Spyder (5 actually)! smile

We saw Chris Harris and Harry Metcalfe there and they all got a passenger ride. I did film the 918 on the Nordschleife at Brunnchen, Döttinger Höhe and a few times on the street.

Check out the video I've made, you can hear engine sound smile

Nice vid - also found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&amp...

Slightly concerned though, near the end of the above film, you can see exhaust effluent on the bodywork after the exhausts... Surely they can't leave them like that? Otherwise, everytime you started it, you'd have waste combustion elements staining the gorgeous bodywork!

(as is regularly seen on white Japanese cars with massive tailpipes...)

Shame it looks like a Ferrari 360 from the front. Another victory for generic "design"

I agree, the front looks a bit generic. The rear looks great in my opinion.

Porsche just posted on their Facebook:

"Porsche claims 7:14 lap time for 918 Spyder on Nurburgring"
