Video: Porsche 918 Spyder Takes Record At The ‘Ring Before Centre Stage At Frankfurt

The Porsche 918 Spyder is the fastest production car to ever have lapped the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife at 6 minutes 57 seconds. Porsche factory race driver Marc Lieb steered the new 918 Spyder into the record books by beating the previous 7 minutes 11 seconds record held by the Gumpert Apollo Sport since 2009.

As a refresher, the Porsche 918 Spyder is powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.6-litre V8 producing 447 kW and an electric motor offering 210 kW. The combined power output is 652 kW, giving the hybrid supercar a 0 – 100 km/h sprint time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 343 km/h.

The Porsche 918 Spyder has been officially unveiled at the 2013 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show this week and pricing starts from US$845 000.
