Porsche’s Plug-In Hybrid 918 Spyder Goes from Dream to Reality in 3.1 Seconds and is Now Available for Purchase from Porsche of North Houston


We at Porsche of North Houston are proud to announce that we are now taking orders for the amazing 918 Spyder. After outstanding customer response to the concept car first shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, Porsche is bringing to reality the next generation Porsche super car that marries unique plug-in hybrid technology and outstanding performance in a visually stunning and purely Porsche package.


To ensure the 918 Spyder’s worldwide exclusivity, Porsche will produce no more than 918 examples of the model based on past Porche designs like the Carrera GT super sports car and the legendary 917 and highly successful RS Spyder race cars.

The 918 Spyder will combine super high performance with very low fuel consumption and emissions and is powered by a high-revving, mid-mounted V8 engine with capacity of more than 4.0 liters and producing at least 500 horsepower. Two electric motors, one each on the front and rear axles, together will provide an additional 218 horsepower achieving zero to 60 mph in about 3.1 seconds on its way to an estimated top track speed of 199 mph. This unique configuration will offer an innovative, variable all-wheel drive system with independent control of the drive forces on both axles. The 918 Spyder electrical energy will be stored in a state-of-the-art liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from a standard household outlet allowing for an anticipated combined fuel consumption of just 112 g/mile. 

And as an added bonus, customers who order the 918 Spyder also have the opportunity to acquire one of only 918 special-edition 911 Turbo S Coupes or Cabriolets.

Make sure you contact us today for the once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Porsche history in the making. Email us today.
