Porsche offers two limited edition models in a bundle to customers who order the 918. Customers can also buy the 911 Turbo S Limited Series.
Porsche announced that it will begin accepting orders for the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder, which it hopes to produce in a limited number starting in 2013.
Porsche would like to begin production in September 2013 on a limited series of 918 units at its Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen plant in Germany.
The starting price in the United States is $845,000. Prices in Europe start at EUR645,000. This price is subject to VAT and other country-specific fees.
Porsche has bundled the 918 Spyder plug in hybrid with the special 911 Turbo S to increase sales.
In June, the 911 Turbo S “Edition 918 Spyder”, will be available in Europe. The Coupe version in Germany is priced at EUR173,241 and the Cabriolet version at EUR184,546. In the United States, the Coupe and Cabriolet cost $160,700 and $172,000. In the UK, the Coupe is priced at PS125,865 while the Cabriolet costs PS133,553.
The details of the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder are still unknown. Porsche claims it will be equipped with a V8 mid-rear mounted, producing approximately 500 PS (368kW/493 bhp). The 918 Spyder will be equipped with two electric motors on each axle. This will increase the output to 160 kW/ 218 PS and make it an all-wheel-drive supercar. The transmission will be the seven speed double-clutch PDK.
The 918 Spyder can sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h), in just 3.1 seconds, and has a top speed at 199 mph (322 km/h).
The 918 Spyder plug in hybrid is powered by a liquid-cooled lithiumion battery. It has a range of approximately 16 miles (26km) in electric mode, and a maximum speed of 94 mph (151 km/h).
For a car that has over 700 horses, the consumption will be impressive. Porsche claims that the 918 Spyder will have a fuel economy rating of 3.0 Liters/100km and CO2 emissions of only 70g/km (or 112.2 g/mile).
