Seriously enough of the BS
Porsche will charge much more and you know this man |
Porsche version is $850k |
Actually, I think you'll find that the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid has 416bhp, 0-62 in 5.5 and returns 91.1mpg - all not too dissimilar to the i8 albeit in a different body shell.
Expect this drivetrain in a 911 and then you'll see where it blows the i8.
The 850k for a 918 is an entirely different performance league.
My guess is that Porsche will be developing this for the 911 as an option as will Audi in their upcoming R8 model.
In my opinion, both of these will leave this "ugly duckling" behind in both performance and looks.
