The Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid made its driving debut on a closed road in Monterey California, just days prior to its appearance at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
After being shipped over from Germany by plane, engineers handed the keys of the new 918 Spyder Hybrid to Porsche AG Design Chief Michael Mauer. The car drove under its own power, which comes from the mid mounted 3.4 liter V8 out of the RS Spyder as well as an all electric mode which powers just the front wheels. The video below was created for Porsche by our friend J.F. Musial at Tangent Vector. Watch and enjoy (if you're viewing this via email, you may need to click the title of the post to see the video, trust me, it's worth it!).

Mohamed,
It’s not just you. This is their only example, I think they will baby it for the near future.
Very excellent video but I want to see more! Now to go to my garage and admire my 930…
Jon, send us a pic and we will be happy to admire it.
Good point… Just hope they do test a production car on the ring. And film it!
I think Pepper Girl means 3.4 V6… not to nit-pick, but its kind’ve a big difference. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks,
