Recently Bloomberg has named the
Porsche 918 Spyder the best sports car of 2013. Porsche has long been
at the top of the sports car world, but there are distinct
differences in this model. It is one of the few supercars in the
world that is a hybrid. At a $845,000 price tag the 918 Spyder
surpasses the $4Mill Lamborghini Veneno and the $1.4Mill LaFerrari.
The 918 is an exemplar of Porsche's race car heritage without losing
consumer appeal. It is Porche's first go at a supercar since the
Carrera GT, which was released almost a decade ago. All of that time
between projects can be seen in the performance of the 918. It's V8
hybrid engine pushes out an astounding 887hp and the car weighs in at
3,715lbs. This is apparent in it's blistering acceleration that
Porsche records as 0-62mph in just 2.8 seconds. The 918 isn't just
all go all the time. Porsche placed a five position rotary dial on
the steering wheel that lets the driver select between five different
modes: electric, hybrid, sport, race, and hot lap. When it's not
running in electric mode, it is one of the loudest and angriest cars
to don the Porsche badge.
With the amount of engineering that
goes into each and every Porsche it is essential to find a company
that understands and values these machines of modern power with the
same degree. European Exchange is a company that specializes in
