To say thePorsche 918 Spyderis a remarkable technical achievement is like saying the passengers and crew of theTitanicsuffered a minor boating mishap. The idea of being able to hop in a car, put-put around on nothing but electrons for more than a dozen miles, circle theNürburgring Nordschleifein less than seven minutes and drive back to your house is epic in its absurdity, yet that’s exactly what you’ll find in thishybrid supercar’s bag of tricks.
