Remember that $980,000 electric sports car we told you about back in April? It definitely isn't the onlyluxury green car competing for the wallets of the green rich set. Word has come down from old guard luxury brand Porsche thatits 918 Spyder hybrid is in the next development phase, sporting ahefty $845,000 price tag. We've reported on the Porsche 918 Spyder before, noting at the time a limited run of 918 production units of this hybrid would be built for those with deep pockets. Production is said now to be planned for September 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported , for a car that mates a 570-hp, 4.6 litre V8 engine with twoelectric motors – one each on the front and rear axles– for a combined 770 hp. This car definitely won't be aslouch with that kind of green power under the hood. Porsche notes this parallel full hybrid will have a top speedaround 200 MPH, also being capable of hitting around 90 MPH inelectric mode only. Acceleration from 0 to 60 is under a mere three seconds, and forthose wanting to drive the Spyder in electric mode only, the carhas a short range of around 15 miles. The battery of this vehicleis lithium-ion and will include regenerative braking as a solutionto help extend the electric only range. According to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the 918 Spyderconsumes 3.0L/100km of fuel, or less than 1 gallon of gas perroughly 78 miles. Official EPA fuel economy data is expected justbefore the car arrives to U.S. customers. The version of the 918 Spyder Porsche was recently showing off, according to the automaker , has markings which herald back to its historical 917 racing carsand look to " signal the final touches" of its design. This plug-in hybrid also includes other high value functions in itsDNA, including a " full carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP)monocoque with unit carrier, fully adaptive aerodynamics, adaptiverear-axle steering and the upward-venting "top pipes"exhaust system." * Nino Marchetti, EarthTechling.
