— Tell me, what kind of car?
— 2.6
— And what is its advantages?
— 2.6
— Where to go on it?
— 2.6
— I think we should take..?
The last question, of course, rhetorical, because everyone made 918 copies of the car has long been painted, sold and produced. Last Porsche 918 rolled out by early summer 2015, and the future owner paid much earlier, at the end of 2014. So now it's not just an amazingly beautiful and incredibly technically the car, but also a piece of history.
As you know, figure 2.6 is the vehicle acceleration to 100 km / h. On the famous Nordschleife lap he took 6 minutes 57 seconds. And the essence of the Porsche 918 is that it is — a hybrid supercar with a technology similar to those embodied in the LMP1 racing sports prototype class Porsche 919 Hybrid.
It all started with the Porsche 959, the first supercar brand according to the manufacturer. This car is more acted not so much as a supercar itself as serving an experimental platform for the creation of combat racing cars, one type of which went to the 1986 Lehman and won it, and the other, on the Paris-Dakar, and in the same 1986, there took a double victory.
The next generation — not least the famous Carrera GT — was presented in 2000 in Geneva. This mid-engined car produced 4 years from 2003 to 2006, and its history dates back to the racing engine developed for McLaren's formulary. The works were stopped, and the engine was useful later for Carrera GT. The engine represented the V-shaped «ten» in volume of 5.7 liters and 612 hp In addition the car staffed 6-speed transmission with ceramic clutch and brakes carbonceramic. Acceleration in 3.9 seconds to 100 km / h at the time was a good number.
By the way, thanks to Walter Röhrl Carrera GT was the fastest production car on the Nordschleife — 7.28 seconds.
As for the Porsche 918 Hybrid, it is available in two versions: standard and spider lite version «Weissach Package», a platform for him to become a racing RS Spyder, the first attempt at writing designers before creating the 919-th.
Porsche 918 Spyder in our photos proudly wears the number 000, packed with an aluminum plate, which is located on the central tunnel from both sides. This is the first demonstration of the eight cars that Porsche has released other than those 918-minute for the client and journalist test drives. And this beauty — the one that used to be a few years ago, met Russian journalists in Germany. Alive, alive, smoking room. Hi :)
