Go from 600/hp to Electric Drive silence with a push of a button.
This car also owns the current lap time record on the Nürburgring (Nordschleife)

- venus 13y agoGeeze, that's some truly awful CGI in the first section of that video. You can tell the director is well aware, too, cutting away at every opportunity - quite a contrast to the loving treatment the camera later gives the 918. You'd think Porsche, of all companies, would spend a little more and get something that looks the part.
- cl8ton 13y agoYou think the director was trying to emulate the vid quality from that place and time in the video?
- venus 13y agoHadn't thought of that. Even if so, I'd say they still failed - the car doesn't look like an old film, it looks like crappy CGI, with a lazy "blur shadow" underneath and wooden-doll driver.

- oijaf888 13y agoAny links to those lap times? I can't find anything definitive other than "under 7 minutes" for McLaren. The 918 seems to be the fastest production car with an actual time that I can find. That ignores the the Radical SR8 since those appear to be pure race cars.
