This gives the 918 Spyder a 0–100 km/h time in just under 2.9 seconds and a top speed of over 330 kilometres per hour (210 mph). The energy storage system is a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery positioned behind the passenger cell. In addition to the plug-in recharge the batteries can also be charged by regenerative braking and by excess output from the engine when the car is coasting. CO2 emissions are 70 g/km and fuel consumption is 3 L/100 km (94 imperial mpg/78 us mpg).
If true this car defies physics, more power than a Prius with better mpg |
Those mpg claims most definitely include the plug-in power and the somewhat sketchy accounting for plug-in cars.
I guarantee that a car with a 580 hp engine will not get 78 mpg, unless maybe you only drive 10 miles per day
and recharge every night
and drive like a hypermiler.
It is physically impossible unless they are hiding a nuclear generator in there somewhere. With no initial charge, this would probably be lucky to see 25 mpg.
But I would take one.
