In this latest diary from evo magazine, boss Harry Metcalfe heads over to Nardo to check out a prototype of Porsche’s forthcoming 918 Spyder model. The 918 uses both a mid-mounted 425 kW (570 hp) 4.6-litre V8 engine and two electric motors to deliver a sub-3 second 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time, and a claimed 326 km/h (202 mph) top speed. It’s rare and interesting to see such an important car during this stage of its development. Due to go into production in 2013, expect to part with around € 780,000 if you want to own one.
