Porche provides the best of both worlds with exclusive with the 918 Spyder concept scheduled to debut tomorrow at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. It looks like Carrera GT evolved, and boosts a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors, plus producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This super car is a parallel hybrid. It has two powertrains, gas and electric, can operate together or separately to motivate the wheels into motion. The Sport Hybrid mode again uses both powertrains, but tips the needle a bit more towards performance with most power reaching the rear wheels. The concept will debut at Geneva these days.
