Got your eye set on Porsche’s extravagant 918 Spyder? You will need to speed up your plans to buy one soon, as the German automaker has just announced that all the examples of the hybrid supercar could be sold out completely by early December.
According to Porsche’s sales chief, Bernhard Mayer, the brand only has 100 saleable units left for customers from across the world. Shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 918 Spyder is destined to be made in extremely limited numbers. In fact, only 918 units of the hybrid supercar will ever be made.
The 918 Spyder is powered by a 4.6-litre V8 engine. For that extra edge, the engine is paired with not one but two electric motors. The end result is 887bhp of power and 1,275Nm of torque. Thanks to such outrageous power figures, the 918 Spyder can accelerate from zero to 100 kmph in just 2.6 seconds and go on to a top speed of 345 kmph.
The 918 Spyder goes head-on with the McLaren P1 and the LaFerrari. Like the Porsche, both the McLaren and LaFerrari are outrageous looking hybrid supercars built in extremely limited numbers. While only 499 units of the LaFerrari are to be built, the P1 is set to become an even more exclusive buy with just 375 units planned.
