Hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder beats Nordschleife track record by miles (actually, 14 seconds)
Posted in: Today's Chili
Porsche’s hybrid 918 Spyder did double duty this week, making its first public appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show and setting a world record at Nürburgring’s grueling Nordschleife circuit. Stuttgart’s pride burned around the North Loop at an average of 112MPH to finish the circuit in 6:57, a full 14 seconds faster than the previous record holder: the gas-burning Dodge Viper ACR. Check out the video after the break and you’ll discover that this Spyder is throaty — especially compared to those purely electric (and rather screechy) Formula E racers.
