Porsche has recently released a document that contains the US
2013 Model Year pricing for its range and, at the top of the list, we
can see the financial burden of the upcoming 918 Spyder.
The supercar, which will be offered as a 2014 model, will retail for
$845,000 (€634,500), with the price not including the destination and
handling charges. The money should bring you a powertrain comprised of a
4.6-liter V8 unit with 580 hp and over 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) and electric
motors capable of delivering a combined output of 245 hp. The vehicle
thus offers a combined output of 795 hp and 780 Nm (575 lb-ft).
This will allow it to deal with the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 3.2 seconds
and offer a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph). The 918 Spyder is expected
to mix the aforementioned performance with a fuel efficiency that can
climb as high as 3 liters per 100 km (78 mpg).
You can also opt for the Weissach package, which brings the weight down
by 34 kg (77 lbs). This is achieved by removing the air conditioning
system, the audio system, the door storage and armrest, as well as
replacing the paint with a special foil. Less may be more, but this will
boost the price to $929,000 (€696,200).
