2011 Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept

This car can be either two or four wheel drive, have plug-in electric or gasoline power, come with an open top or a fixed roof, and be either a racer or a Potential variations include a 918 coupe, an electric 918, and a 918 RS/RSR. X1 is the code name of the 918 Spyder, which is only one version of many. And it reflects the legacy of Ferry Porsche, who was convinced that sports cars would never go out of fashion. XG10 stands for X1, Geneva 2010. This is a trendsetting and sustainable premium product that uses the issue of social acceptability to its advantage.

XG10 promises total driving pleasure and a clear conscience. The strategic aim is to demonstrate that even a supercar can be environmentally friendly. We will definitely bring some blank sales contracts to the Geneva show, but it’s too early to talk pricing, production volumes, and timing. Are we going to build it?

At the same time, it averages 78 mpg [on the EU driving cycle] when driven gently. Says Wolfgang Dürheimer, board member in charge of R and D: This car can lap the Nürburgring faster than the Carrera GT. And what a supercar it is going to be: in addition to the normally aspirated, high-revving, 3.4-liter V-8 good for more than 495 hp, the striking 918 Spyder has three electric motors onboard that add another 215 hp to the tally. Officially it’s only a concept, but there’s no doubt that project XG10 or the 918 Spyder concept will pave the way for the next Porsche supercar.

Porsche 918 Spyder 2011

In the Chassis materials include carbon fiber reinforced plastic and magnesium and aluminium for a lower weight. Batteries also recharge while braking, using KERS, and while coasting. The V8 engine is a version of the 3,4 liter one which is included in the RS Spyder racecars. The new two-seated 918 Spyder model consists of a hybrid plug-in system, with a V8 engine that operates with the aid of air cooled lithium ion batteries, generating over 500 hp, at a maximum of 9,200 rpm, and 2 electric motors, placed on the two axes, with a maximum power of 218 hp (160 kW).

This trio of the new Cayenne S Hybrid, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 918 Spyder Hybrid concept, demonstrates not just the qualities of this new technology, but also Porsche's innovative power, as a pioneering force in hybrid propulsion systems. Porsche 918 is one of the three hybrid propulsion models which have been revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. More than that, it scored a less than 7:30 minutes record on the Nurburgring track, outranking the Porsche Carrera GT - the pinnacle of the German company's series. Also, weighing only 3,285 (1,490 kg), the prototype offers supercar performances such as: accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3,2 seconds and a maximum speed of 62 mph (320 km/h). Its fuel consumption is about 78 mpg.

The new Porsche 918 Spyder concept synthesizes racing abilities and electric mobility, offering an amazing suite of qualities: emission levels of about 70g CO2 per kilometer, when utilizing an average of 3 liters/100 kilometers.

New Porsche Concept Car 2011

The chassis is made from CFP (Carbon fiber reinforced Yet, it does an incredible 78mpg, driven the right way, plus the emissions level sit at just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometre. It produces more than 500 brake horse power with engine revs of up to 9200 rpm. This sports car is a high revving V-8 related, 3.4 litre racing car. The liquid cooled lithium ion battery pack sits behind the cockpit and can be ideally charged at home or by brake regeneration.

The drive to the front wheels is purely electric via a fixed ratio. The 918 Spyder has electric motors at the front and rear axles. So, how can a car have all this power and claim to be green? Nought to Sixty in less than 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 198mph and it happens to be faster than the Carrera GT, as proven by successfully finishing the Nurburgring lap in less than 7 minutes 30 seconds. Remarkably impressive when looked at.

It certainly looks mean, but what are the stats like? Unveiled on the eve of the famous Geneva Auto Show, the Stuttgart based company, Porsche, lifted the lid on their new concept car which happens to be a mid engine, two seater sports cars with hybrid and electric drive technology. Let's take a closer look. Well, that's exactly what Porsche are proposing with their latest concept car: the Porsche 918 Spyder.

Who would have thought that you could have a mean looking, fast racing, good looking sports car that also has impressive green credentials?

PorscheVoirEn Taille Réelle 2011

Yes, that's right, But if you are more into saving the world by day and coming home to the family at night, you might want to try the 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid. The V-6 engine makes is just enough car for those beginning drivers, which makes the Cayenne a great SUV to pass down for a Sweet 16 gift-- when the time comes. The Cayenne's towing capacity is enough for all your kid's friends and their lacrosse equipment (it gets maxed out at about 6,000 pounds). I had no idea that tires could be made lighter, but somehow they achieved it.

Then they went on to the engine, park break, and even the tires? First off, they have used an extensive amount of aluminum in the doors, hood and chassis. They literally have shown their innovation by being able to cut pounds everywhere. How did they accomplish this incredible Biggest Loser like weight loss?

A 400 pound drop from previous models can contribute to the overall more Porsche-feel. This year's model is lighter and more agile than ever. But they have learned a lot since their first trial in 2003, and have even gone leaps and bounds from last year's model. In earlier models, the critics were right, Porsche's SUVs were heavy and didn't have the smooth drive that Porsche owners covet. One of the most noticeable changes is the drive.

Though critics have knocked the fact that the sporty posh car maker has been dabbling in SUVs, they may close their lips after seeing the new 2011 Porsche Cayenne.

TechArt Porsche Panamera GrandGT Kia Optima US 2011

An additional design highlight is the TECHART Aero engine hood that is constructed of high-quality carbon fibers, with integrated air outlets for an optimized regulation of the heat balance in the engine compartment and which impressively completes the GrandGT program for the Panamera’s front end. It combines daytime running lights, position lights, parking lights and turn signals as LED system unit in a common housing and integrates seamlessly in the design of the Panamera’s front. The multifunctional daytime running lights that are integrated in the front bumper give the Panamera not only a distinctive appearance.

TECHART-typical: the sporty four-seater’s suitability for everyday use. The powerful front bumper with integrated splitter and large ventilation intakes, for an improved supply of fresh air to the intercooler and an optimum cooling of the brake system, flawlessly underlines the dynamic contours. The TECHART-typical exterior design catches the eye of onlookers immediately. The TECHART GrandGT favors a spectacular performance.
