At today's Geneva Motor Show, Porsche will unveil its 918 concept. This mid-engined two-seater combines the performance of a super-sports car with the CO2 emissions of a small compact, an innovative plug-in hybrid concept reducing emissions to just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre and fuel consumption to 3.0 litres/100 kilometres.

Within this concept Porsche combines a V8 engine delivering more than 500hp (373kW) and three electric motors with overall output of 160kW, for a total output of 533kW! 

In its design and interior architecture, the Porsche 918 Spyder combines classic elements with appropriate solutions for the future such as the clear wheels!

Porsche says it will get from 0-60mph (96km/h) in 3.2 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 317km/h!

Porsche has also suggested that we take a good, hard look at the interior as this car offers some insight into future model design.

The Porsche 918 Spyder will be unveiled Tuesday, March 2nd, at 8:15 am Geneva time.
