Curator’s note

The hybrid that broke seven minutes at the Nürburgring.

The 918 Spyder was one of the hypercar trio that brought hybrid power to the top of the performance world. A racing-derived V8 and two electric motors together make 887 PS, and it was the first road car to lap the Nordschleife in under seven minutes.

The story

Porsche 918 Spyder

Production was limited to 918 cars, a nod to the name. The V8 traces its roots to the engine of the RS Spyder Le Mans prototype.

In 2013 a 918 with the Weissach package lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:57, the first sub-seven-minute time for a road-legal production car.
