Sounds properly modern, if only that weight could come down by some 200kgs... yes

Yeah, I hope they make a lightweight version with RWD and no electric motors.

It's been asked and they won't. The new mid engined model will be a cousin of the future R8. 

I think the 918 will be awesome but I also think it will share the same destiny of the 959.
