Porsche Gives the Hybrid-Class Some Biceps.

Porsche has unveiled its newest addition to the hybrid movement, the 918 Spyder. It stands right now as the first plug-in hybrid ever. Along with this: 0-60 in 3.2 Seconds, can go 16 miles on electricity alone, and achieves 78 mpg. The way it achieves these in parallel is a combination of two motors: a 500 hp V8 and a set of electric motors that add another 218 hp. While it is still a concept car, Porsche is well known for fulfilling their concepts into realities.
