The undisputed star at the Porsche’s stall of the 65th Frankfurt International Auto Show is the production variant of the 918 Spyder, successor to the Carrera GT. The model will be produced in 918 units only and come with an hybrid plug-in powertrain, a naturally-aspirated 4.6-liter V8 petrol engine and two electric motors - one for each axle - whose combined output is rated at 887 horsepower with peak torque vatying between 917 and 1280 Nm, depending on the gearing. Power is transferred to the wheels through a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic gearbox, while a 6.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is installed at the lower back of the monocoque, though the electric units can also be recharged through braking.
The 918 Spyder with 5 driving modes whose names are pretty self-explanatory by themselves: ‘E-Power’, ‘Hybrid’, ‘Sport Hybrid’, ‘Race Hybrid’ and ‘Hot Lap’. On electric power alone, the 918 Spyder will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 7 seconds, reaching a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph), but at its full potentiail the car burn the 0-100 km/h sprint time in just 2.8 seconds, hitting a top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph). However, in spite of these impressive performance figures, fuel consumption is pretty good: from 3.0 to 3.3 l/100km. Also worth mentioning is the advanced Porsche Active Aerodynamic (PAA), that adjusts some aerodynamic elements to improve the dynamic behavior of the car.
Also making an appearance in Frankfurt is the Porsche 911 GT3 - which we saw at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show - powered by a 3.8-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine producing 475 horsepower and 438 Nm of peak torque and coupled to a PDK seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sending power to the rear wheels via a locking differential. The GT3 can thrash the 0-100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, hitting a top speed of 315 km/h (195 mph).
