Porsche has unveiled a very sweet-looking concept car, the 918 Spyder, at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Introduced by President and CEO of Porsche AG, Michael Macht, the mid-engine sports car takes the "ecology vs. performance" up a few notches. Described as a "Super-Sports" car, the 918 Spyder is a low emissions plug-in hybrid with a split personality. It is capable of almost 80 mpg and 198 mph! All of this with just 70 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer. Porsche has not announced plans to mass produce this vehicle, but experts are betting that it will happen sooner rather than later.

Described as a "Super-Sports" car, the 918 Spyder is a low emissions plug-in hybrid with a split personality. On the ecological side it is capable of 3.0 liters/100 kilometers (78 mpg US) with just 70 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer. However, on the performance side, it's driven by a V8 producing more than 368 kW (500 PS / 493 hp) plus three electric motors putting out 160 kW (218 PS / 215 hp). That gives the two-seater a combined power output of 528 kW (718 PS / 708 hp) resulting in a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 3.2 seconds, top speed of 320 km/h (198 mph).
