The 918 Spyder is entirely crafted of superlatives. It does things that other cars can only dream about when tucked safely in their garages at night. It is a tech machine on wheels. It is, as Mike Spinelli puts it in the latest TEST/DRIVE video, "science fiction on four massive Michelins". It's a nerdy adrenaline-junkie's dream, to say the …

The original concept for the engine in this car was drawn on a bar napkin by one Mr. Chuck Beck (of replica spyder and 904 fame, among other things).
