Even more important again, thanks to a plug-in hybrid technology, this Spyder requires only 3.0 liters of fuel for 100 km, producing low emissions as much as 70 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.

All sources of energy that comes from the 3400 cc V8 engine mounted on the rear axle with more power than 500 hp. This machine is also similar to those used in the Porsche RS Spyder.
