    Porsche isn't Ferrari, looking flashy is for others. 


    Somebody who's driving a C63 shouldn't blame others for being flashy. Smiley

    But seriously, I really think that a (combined) power output of 770hp isn't really enough, if the next Enzo will show up with combined 920hp. Smiley

    Are you joking? The C63 is the most stealthy sports car I ever owned. Nobody even bothers to ask, the reaction is always positive (until they actually hear the car... ).

    I'm not really a Ferrari type of person. Even if I had the money and wouldn't care about the neighbors, I would get myself the Lamborghini Aventador. Can't help it...

    To be honest, no, I'm not joking.

    Of course any AMG model (except the SLS of course) is relatively stealth looking if you compare it to cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini or even Porsche. But among the three manufacturers of high perfomance sedans Audi, BMW and Mercedes the AMG-models are definitely the least stealthy ones. Smiley

    Porsche 918 Spyder to get Race Track package

    Around one in five 918 Spyder buyers are expected to go for the pared down version of Porsche's new hypercar...
     
     
    The 918 Spyder will go on sale in September 2013
     
    (13 July 2012)
     
    Porsche 918 Spyder customers will be able to specify a more focused track version of the car. The Race Track package will be sold at a premium price, and come with a stripped-out interior and the option of no paint. The weight saving is reported to be around 30kg.
     
    The target weight for the standard car, which is powered by a race-derived 4.6-litre V8 and two electric motors producing 762bhp and 552lb ft in total, is “less than 1700kg” according to Porsche.
     
    Around 20 per cent of customers are expected to take up the option. In total, 918 cars will be sold, with production due to begin on 18 September 2013. By the time the car goes on sale Porsche estimates that at least 90 per cent of the production run will be sold.

    Thanks!


    Re: 918 latest news Thread Closed

    I saw the finished product at Le Mans during Le Mans Classic, no pictures allowed. 

    The car is breathtakingly beautiful! I'm not sure about the rims which are the same as the concept car but I'll go for the track pack in any case which will have lighter rims. The car is such a porker that any kilo saved is good.

    Combined power now officially over 800 hp! Yeah!Smiley

     


    Re: 918 latest news Thread Closed

    Great news!

    What about front lights? Are they the same to concept?

    HP increase by engine or electro?)))

    Thanks!

    Re: 918 latest news Thread Closed

    Yeah, and how similar is the design to the Concept vs. the black prototype?


    Re: 918 latest news Thread Closed

    OMG, that is so exciting !!! lucky you :-) 
    Anything else interesting you could tell us ?broken heart 
    cool


    Re: 918 latest news Thread Closed

    Carrara:

    Yeah, and how similar is the design to the Concept vs. the black prototype?

    Front lights adopt the same style as the Panamera Turbo, those four diodes in daylight mode, very cool indeed.

    I don't know how the power is split, the official news was that the overall power was above 800 hp, I would assume it's a bit of both.

    According to Porsche, the most impressive feature of the car is the torque of the car. 100% available from 0 rpmSmiley

    Not really I'm afraid. Some very cool videos in the latest iPad app available to people who signed up only. 

    Two rolling prototypes, number 5 with decals like the 917 22 who won Le Mans in 1970 and number 11 with Psychedelik decals similar to Larrousse's car also in 1970 I believe.

    Car colours are also approved, nicest one seem to be Rodhium grey, like the concept. I saw it in Weissach, it is a very cool grey that changes colour with lightning. 

    A second trip is planned in September with hot laps on the test track.

    Do you mean that the car is overweight for its type?

    Its type is new so I couldn't say.

    It's on the heavy side for a sports car though although, personally, I find reasonable for a road car (1650 kgs).

     


    Re: 918 latest news Thread Closed

    Thanks! The proof is in the driving.
