Porsche 918 Spyder of the Nürburgring

Only seven minutes and fourteen seconds had the 795 hp hybrid super athlete needs to the Nordschleife in the round to go. This makes the 918 Spyder to the fastest production cars ever. His time is equal to that of the Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package and ten seconds faster than the fastest Porsche until now, the 911 GT2 RS. The performance is even more remarkable when you consider that the 918 circuit, no special tires to the rims had lying around, but his lap was on Michelin tires production.
The 918 Spyder is responsible for this flashy time was equipped with the Weissach-package and, as we found out yesterday, that means a weight saving of 35 kg and a six point racing harness for the driver. Porsche stressed that we are still dealing with a prototype, the car is in fact only a year officially unveiled.
