Supercar fanatic Barrett Mitchell was lucky enough to catch this pair of Porsche 918 Spyders cruising north on the 405 from LAX airport on his way to this year’s Targa Trophy California 1000, with the second one featuring the optional Weissach Package.

Propulsion comes via a combination of a 453 kW (608 hp) 4.6-litre V8 engine along with a 115 kW (154 hp) hybrid module at the rear along with a 95 kW (127 hp) electric motor driving the front wheels. With all systems go and the full 661 kW (887 hp) a its disposal, the 1640 kg plug-in hybrid hypercar can crack 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and 200 km/h in 7.9s, while top speed is 340 km/h (211 mph).
