$845,000 Porsche uses less gas than a Prius
The Porsche 918 Spyder is the fastest production car around the Nürburgring. At close to a million dollars, it is by far the priciest road-going Porsche. And according to Porsche, this 887-hp track monster uses less fuel than a Toyota Prius.
Wait, what?
No doubt, Porsche’s new mid-engine super sports car is also its fuel economy leader. The plug-in hybrid’s all-wheel drive powertrain offers combined city and highway European fuel efficiency officially rated as 3.1-litre/100 km, or 3.0 for the 41-kg lighter Weissach performance model. Even if those numbers are not quite achievable in the real-world, that it manages to get anywhere near them is a huge technological feat for something this fast.
Cheers!
