Didn't realize the 918 was gonna be a hybrid. Have you seen pictures? It looks sick

Does look sweet. I'll have to do a straight trade with my Bird

Seriously, I'm not impressed with some of the HP numbers in that article.

Ditch the electric motors and such while adding a couple of turbos to the V8 and we are in business.

id be excited for a porcshe like this, because it doesnt look like every other car they make.

I agree about all of them looking the same. The Carrera GT was a good start and the 918 is putting them further in the right direction.

They're glass man, it's the new ultraperformance application, all the exotics are doing it so you'll see it readily available for common cars in the next 18 months.

Agree, I don't like the look of that at all. Stupid idea. Belongs on a ghettomobile, not on a 6-figure Porsche.
