    The first images being CG, and the latter being the real deal, of course.

      obviously!

      could have been made closer to the original concpet imho.

      eg. dark smoked discs rather than white .

          Driverís choice of four distinct driving modes

          A button on the steering wheel allows the driver to choose among four different running modes: The E-Drive mode is for running the car under electric power alone, with a range of up to 25 km or 16 miles. In the Hybrid mode, the 918 Spyder uses both the electric motors and the combustion engine as a function of driving conditions and requirements, offering a range from particularly fuel-efficient all the way to extra-powerful.

          The Sport Hybrid mode uses both drive systems, but with the focus on performance. Most of the drive power goes to the rear wheels, with Torque Vectoring serving to additionally improve the carís driving dynamics.

          In the Race Hybrid mode the drive systems are focused on pure performance with the highest standard of driving dynamics on the track, running at the limit to their power and dynamic output. With the battery sufficiently charged, a push-to-pass button feeds in additional electrical power (E-Boost), when overtaking or for even better performance.

          With the hybrid drive system offering this wide range of individual modes and applications, the 918 Spyder is able either to achieve lap times comparable to those of a thoroughbred racing car, or the extremely low emissions and high fuel economy figures of a plug-in hybrid.

                No wonder it only gets a few miles on the full electric. Did you see all those dials and electronics around the drivers seat? Holy Moly.

                    I actually think they did a good job of making a hybrid porsche that's true to prosche's design.

                          I see the furore about the oil spill has died down a bit and the costs of oil companies has taken a back burner - so we're back to worshipping supercars and the relentless pursuit of cheap fuel - er...hello ?!

                            Does it come with any tax breaks - I do want to be enticed to consider the environment after all.
