Even though the Porsche 918 won in almost any comparison with the McLaren P1 as it was shown here, the Porsche isn’t exactly happy keeping the thing available only for its customers. Here, you can see the thing kicking it down at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit where the Porsche 918 head instruction, Matthias Hoffsummer tried to take on the record of the track and he succeeded. Driving the lap in 1:38:02, Hoffsummer succeeded to break the lap record for production car thus making the Porsche 918 the fastest vehicle that has ever graced the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
The Porsche 918 is one of three newest and most astonishing cars in the world. Hybrid propulsion used for the thing is the most advanced in the car segment and with the maximum power output of 900 HP and the fabulously executed four wheel drive system, the Porsche 918 Spyder is ready to take on the most demanding tracks in the world. Interestingly, 918 units will be (or are) produced and every one of them is already sold despite the price that comes close to USD 1.000.000.
