The 918 is unpurchaseable, but you can walk into any Porsche dealer and buy a 911 Turbo S for ~$190k that'll do 0-60 in 2.5s.

- runako 10y agoWe're picking nits, so I'm going to point out that Porsche claims the 911 Turbo S that they sell today does 0-60 in 2.8s, slower than you're suggesting. I don't have firsthand knowledge to be able to say which of you is wrong.
- kylec 10y agoPorsche is conservative with their reported 0-60 numbers. People that have tested it are able to get 2.5s. Look at the first two columns of times in the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration#By_0.E2.80.93100.C2.A0km.2Fh_time_or_0.E2.80.9360_mph_.280.E2.80.9397.C2.A0km.2Fh.29_.283.0_seconds_or_less.29.5Bi.5D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_car...
