From Autoblog...

Here you go, have your cake and eat it too. Porsche is looking to prove that the best of both worlds don't have to be mutually exclusive with the 918 Spyder concept scheduled to debut tomorrow at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Absolutely freaking gorgeous. Hoping those wheels don't make it to production.

Props to Porsche from stepping outside the box with this concept That's what a hybrid should look like.

Front looks like an F-car, pure sex like the CGT with a lot better mileage.

Prolly gonna cost mad coin though, better start scheduling more Botox

BTW, internal code for next generation Boxter is going from 987 to 981. Anyone notice how the hybrid is 918? Midengine design so play on Boxter perhaps?

Now, that's how you candy-wrap a beast! Oh... and then they threw in some green electrojuice - just to F with the hybrid crowd.
