The video featured here is what we like to call a “felony pop”. In other words, had this taken place in the States, the driver, after posting the video to YouTube, would likely have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.
While I love the way this video shows how amazingly the 918 handles (despite the annoying wind noise), I’m quite surprised at the speed recklessness of driving like this on what appears to be an open road. The driver is obviously competent, but it just seems crazy to throw this much Porsche around like that where other drivers could get in your way or get hurt.

Competent no, reckless yes. If he had stayed on his side of the road we could add competent but he was all over the road with opposing traffic. At least we know where two of the 918's are.
