Although you may not typically connect Porsche with exotic vehicles, the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder the most unique, superior supercars on the market. For evidence, look at the price tag: The open-top 2-seater starts at around $850, 000 before choices. Include a couple of extras, and you can potentially note that figure rise to over $1 million.

Yes, that's right, $1 million for a car or truck. So what precisely does the Porsche 918 Spyder offer for the immense cost? For starters, there's a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, but it is maybe not a fuel-saving plug-in hybrid as if you might find in a Chevy Volt or a Ford C-MAX. On the contrary, the 918 Spyder boasts a 608-horsepower V8, mated to a 154-hp electric engine the rear rims and a 125-hp electric motor when it comes to front rims. The end result is all-wheel drive, 887 horsepower and sufficient electric propulsion to cruise around for as much as 18 miles without any gasoline.

The 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder in addition boasts breathtaking overall performance figures, including a 0-to-60 time of around two seconds and a premier rate of 210 miles hourly. The automobile may even operate the quarter mile within 10 moments, rendering it one of many fastest manufacturing cars ever built.

Nonetheless don't think it is worth a million bucks? Consider the lengthy a number of standard functions, including a center-mounted TFT display, smartphone-like capacitive touch controls, a futuristic 8-inch touchscreen and automated environment control. Basically, this is actually the ultimate Porsche. It really is even a step up from mighty 2004 Carrera GT that came before it.
