I have to say, I doubt the numbers...mostly the 130 time...

ask for source (if you're a member on that forum)

It is from Car and Driver.

0-30 mph 1.0 seconds
0-60 mph 2.2 seconds
0-100 mph 4.9 seconds
0-130 mph 6.7 seconds
0-150 mph 10.5 seconds
0-160 mph 12.2 seconds
0-170 mph 14.4 seconds
0-180 mph 17.5 seconds

9.8 second 1/4 mile @ 145mph

..very strange results
0-60 2.2s: incredibly
60-130 4.5s: faster than Sport Auto (with W.P.)
130-180 10.8s:... not so fantastic...

I think 0-130 should be 7.7. It must be a typo

I have to say, I doubt the numbers.

that reminds me, whatever happened to Jennifer Clarkson, sorry, Jeremy Clarkson, the once God of the automotive world?

The big-mouthed prat and his Top Gear self-promotional vehicle seems to have gone very quiet of late.

Couldn't be connected with his transparent promoting of the $1,600,000 McLaren MP4-12C, sorry, P1, or his cringe-worthy crawling to keep his multi-million pound job at the supposedly 'PC-gone-mad', but obviously not too mad so Jeremy didn't want to get sacked from the licence fee gravy train BBC?

The 918 is slaying more than tuned-up glorified kit cars like the P1; it's making previously worshipped Gods like Clarkson and Ron Dennis look like the ridiculous, money-grubbing mortals they actually are.

Couldn't care less if having the roof made it a couple seconds slower to 300+kph. Without the roof, the engine noise is insane

The correct car and driver data are
0-30 1,0
0-40 1,4
0-50 1,8
0-60 2,2
0-70 2,8
0-80 3,4
0-90 4,1
0-100 4,9
0-110 5,8
0-120 6,7
0-130 7,9
0-140 9,1
0-150 10,5
0-160 12,2
0-170 14,4
0-180 17,5
0-1/4 mile 9.8 - 145

So:
0 - 100 about 2,4
0-160 about 4,9
0-200 about 7,2
0-240 about 10,4
0-300 about 20

Very good, it's non weissach package car

 

[Bucketslash11]

any scans on this test or was it on the web?

 

[Switar]

For the moment only this

 

[RS2000 4X4]

For the moment only this

Thanks!!!

Very fast time for the Porsche but still slower than the P1 tested by MT

I like this 918 more and more

 

[Mafalda]

Great results... No comment about the insane start "born in the USA", 100-200 kph seems as fast as sport auto, and 200-290 a bit slower, strong probably cause no WP , it means a bit higher Cx.
...press or stock car?

 

[Yaz]

Anyone else think it sounds too much like a 458 Italia?

 

[Monster]

Anyone else think it sounds too much like a 458 Italia?

Is it a bad thing though?

 

[PC Valkyrie]

One number that does stand out for me is the 5-60mph time of 2.4 seconds!!!

This test is unique to C&D, and is a rolling start, which means absolutely no launch control......

2.4 seconds is insanely fast.

Insane start because of 1-ft-rollout. Real 0-60mph time is about 2,4 s, proper 0-100 kph is about 2,5-2,6.

Wow what an amazing noise that engine makes!!! My hairs on my back are standing up!!!

Tennis Superstar vs Hybrid Supercar: Maria Sharapova Arrives in 918 at Wimbledon


Fresh from her victories in France, tennis superstar Maria Sharapova brought her killer looks over to the pre-Wimbledon party this weekend. Her wheels of choice: Porsche's first hybrid supercar, the mighty 918 Spyder.

If there's one thing we've learned from Sharapova's career as Porsche brand ambassador, it's that she she like to ride shotgun, not get behind the wheel. A chauffeur was thus needed and he was found in form of Porsche works driver Mark Webber, a seasoned driver with over 200 adrenaline-packed F1 races under his belt.

After Serena Williams suffered a surprise defeat, Maria Sharapova looks ready to win her second-ever title at Wimbledon this year. The biggest obstacle standing in her was is the grass court with which many players have struggled. Maybe the "green" Porsche will give her a little insight.

Sharapova might be able to serve a ball at 100 miles per hour (162 km/h), the 214mph top speed of the Porsche has her outgunned. The beautiful tennis star says this is the first time she's been in a hybrid driving around London and was thoroughly impressed. The two-seater supercar will even do 93mph in silent pollution-free EV mode and holds the current lap record for the fastest full production car around the Nurburgring tack in Germany.

"Having just driven the Porsche 919 Hybrid race car at Le Mans last weekend, I already know that this technology can produce incredible results," said Webber.

"Having driven the Porsche 919 at le mans I know this technology still needs a lot of work"

The two-seater supercar will even do 93mph in silent pollution-free EV mode...

In stark contrast to Sharapova who screams and banshees her way through matches.
