Awesome car.

But to me, this signals the beginning of the end. The last thing that I want is a hybrid anything, regardless of how fast it is. I know, call me a luddite.

But it seems that many in the Porsche community feels the same as old 911 prices skyrocket and the 918 remains non-fully subscribed.

Hand onto those 986's friends, in 10 years you're going to look like a genius.

Next boxster is a flat 4 as well, makes 400 HP though which means either hybrid or turbo one, and I don't care for either. Hang on to your boxsters gents.

I do love the 918 though, out of it and the p1 Ferrari and such I'd much prefer the 918. However if I had a 918 and a carrera gt, it would be the gt that you would catch me driving the most.

That's exactly what the owners of horse carriages said, when the first cars started to arrive :-)

Happy Easter

I know! I need PDK/hybrid cognitive behavioral immersion therapy. At least. Maybe a lot more.

Do you recall that Ferd. Porsche's very FIRST automobile design was a gas-electric hybrid? Why not this one? It exudes awesomeness from every angle (including technical).

P.S. Our other car is a Prius V. Believe me, driving it is NOTHING like what these videos show of the 918. Complaining about the 918 being a hybrid is like saying you don't like it because it has rearview mirrors, and so did Yugos. This is a completely different beast.

Haha I am complaining about the time, and the general shift. I would be much more upset if 911s had turbo 4s instead of a hybrid haha. Porsche makes hybrid cool with the Panamera, 919 and 918.
