Porsche is set to lift the wraps off a coupe version of its 918 Spyder next week at the Detroit show. The 918 Spyder hybrid, which made its debut last year as a concept in Geneva, is set for a limited production run, but according to reports, Porsche may be aiming for a different tack with the coupe.
Though based on the same platform as the hybrid, the reports suggest that insiders say that the coupe will be a concept race car equipped with a 600 hp V8 block, and that it isn’t slated for serial production. The debutant’s suggested power output isn’t that far ahead of the 918 Spyder hybrid’s V8, which develops 493 hp (and with the 215 hp from the electric motors on both the front and rear axle, a total combined 708 hp), but it would certainly be lighter for the supposed task at hand – we’ll know for sure next week.

1,000,000th???
peh! How much it will COST here?
Naza Italia? Naza what-so-ever!
I wish Porsche had pursued for lightweight chassis construction & more efficient petrol engines (not necessarily more powerful), rather than exploring the hybrid stuffs. You can do it for saloon cars or passenger carriers, but supercars???? It’s the same strange feeling as reading the news of a diesel powered sportscar – Boring Stuffs…

Nice plastic rims… remember the tv series from the 80’s AUTOMAN
Im sure this is a great car.
But it might not be practical in msia or even UK.Those are potholes infested coutry.
Look at the size of the wheel in relation to the car, and the almost non existent suspension travel.
