New Porsche Concept Car: 500HP, 198MPH....and 78MPG!!!!!!

Who said green cars can’t be mean? Not Porsche. On the eve of the Geneva Auto Show, the Stuttgart-based company took the wraps off the 918 Spyder Concept, a 2-seat mid-engine supercar with hybrid and electric drive technology.

Just how fast is this thing? Well, Porsche says the 918 Spyder Concept hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.2 seconds, and it blasts to a top speed of 198 mph. Not only that, it laps the Nürburgring in less than 7 minutes 30 seconds, which means it’s even faster than the hallowed Carrera GT.

Just how green is it? Porsche says that, when driven accordingly, the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder Concept gets an outstanding 78 mpg, with an emissions level of just 70 grams of C02 per kilometer.

The really important question is... How many cupholders does it have?

I predict Mr noZ will buy one..... ok with me iif I get to choose the color.

I'm just in awe that they could create a 500hp car that gets 78mpg! That's more than most current hybrids! Yet it's freaking FAST, lol!

And what color would you choose? I think black or red would look good, although the silver looked nice.

I liked the silver but would choose a custom red, between true red & pomegranite. Or aubergine. Or real dark hunter green..... color shoudn't matter to me, it's not like I would get a key. He knows i would let the dogs ride & spill iced tea.
