The 918 Spyder Prototype from Porsche combines a high-performance internal combustion engine with electric drives at the rear and front axles to achieve extraordinary driving performance and excellent efficiency – not to mention the recently added Martini Racing outward design that adds to the iconic feel of the racer. The signature red, white and blue colors could be found on almost every racing Porsche of the ’70s – including the 908, 917, 935, 936, and 911 RS and RSR models. The updated 918 harnesses 770 hp as well as fully variable aerodynamics, adaptive rear axle steering and “top pipes” exhaust system which routes the pipes upwards. The 918 Spyder Prototype is a testament to both Porsche and Martini’s long and lustrous career as front of the pack members of the automobile world.
