Geneva-mat There's a special surprise in the Geneva Auto Show 2010. In the booth Porsche 918 Spyder on display plug-in hybrid.

Hybrid Open Topped Sports Car From Porsche

We may all agree Porsche always provided high-powered engines. And passing a Porsche 918 Spyder is a hybrid system combining plug-ins that are sourced from three electric motors with a V8 engine.

The result? A hybrid open-topped car with powerful technology. This quoted from Worldcarfans, Monday (08/03/2010).

All sources of energy that comes from the 3400 cc V8 engine mounted on the rear axle with more power than 500 hp. This machine is also similar to that used in the Porsche RS Spyder. However, to the rear wheels, power generated by three electric motors which, when all work is able to produce power equal to 215 hp.

That is, not a difficult thing for the 918 Spyder in acceleration 0-100 km per hour. Open-topped sports car that only takes 3.2 seconds to move from rest to 100 kpj position. When you want more adrenaline goes up, stepped on the gas pedal just a little deeper, because this hybrid car could be driven up to 320 km / hr. Power for that distribute to the rear-wheel drive through a seven-speed Porsche transmission MDD.

There are four key driving mode can be selected by the driver 918 Spyder. Ie "E-drive" which allows the battery power to work alone until it reaches a distance of 25 km. In addition there are mode "hybrid" that combines the performance of a conventional engine with an electric motor while still pressing the fuel consumption.

There is also a fashion "Sport Hybrid" which emphasizes performance but still use the electric motor performance, as well as fashion "Race Hybrid" which stresses maximum performance conventional engine with an extra burst of energy from the optimal performance of electric motors for acceleration.

Energy for the hybrid system 918 Spyder is stored in lithium-ion batteries can be recharged in a conventional power sources at home. The kinetic energy from regenerative braking can recharge the car battery for the car is running.

Porsche claims the 918 Spyder is a manifestation of a pure sports car but with fuel consumption levels of low den emissions of more "green."
