Spyder Up the Highway

The first model of Porsche was made in 1900 by the famous Ferdinand Porsche.  Only six years after, the Porsche company came out with its first racing car, winning races daily.  In 1937, the racing name, Porsche still was one of the best brands in the world, but interestingly enough, they had one of the best tractors on the market that year.  The company also has started to make motorcycles and engines for them, making incredibly plenty diverse across all motor engines.

Alright, back to the future once with Porsche.  They have created nearly all types of models including a sports car, luxury car, sports utility, and a Chevrolet Traverse type of car.  All of them are very reliable and expensive, but what else is new?  The one model that I will be talking about today is the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder.  Below is a couple of pictures of the model and a couple specs from Porsche’s website:

-Engine-4.6 Liter V-8

-0-60 mph-below 2.8 seconds

-0-125 mph-below 8 seconds

-Horsepower-887 Horsepower

-Total torque-940

I cannot tell you why or how, but it seems like when I do an American sports car followed by a foreign one; the American one seems just on a level below.  The Porsche 918 Spyder is a needle-in-a-hay-stack of sports cars.  It has a beautiful, yet classical design that makes it good looking to all ages.  The respect from the older generation, and the “oh yeah” from the younger.  The engine is a wonder by itself, along with being able to switch from a gas engine to in electric mode.  This is the first sports car we have done that has an electric power option.  In my opinion, that is an amazing design to include in a sports car design.  Also, this is a great car and worth the $800,000 dollars, for sure.
