A permanent fixture of the test programme for the 918 Spyder \u2013 and in the tuning process for all Porsche vehicles \u2013 is the 20.8 km long challenging N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife race circuit. After all, a lap time of less than seven minutes and 22 seconds is one of the development goals of the innovative super sports car with a plug-in hybrid drive.<\/p>\n<p>The 918 Spyder combines a high-performance internal combustion engine with electric drives at the rear and front axles to achieve extraordinary driving performance and excellent efficiency. The system power of all three drives together is 770 hp. The car&#8217;s NEDC fuel consumption is forecast to be only around three litres per 100 km, which is equivalent to CO2 emissions of about 70 g\/km. The monocoque, consisting of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP), reduces the car\u2019s weight and delivers remarkable rigidity and precision. Other highlights are the car\u2019s fully variable aerodynamics, adaptive rear axle steering and \u201ctop pipes\u201d exhaust system which routes the pipes upwards. All of this makes the Porsche 918 Spyder a super sports car for the future, even though the styling of the prototypes is reminiscent of historical models.<\/p>\n<p>The latest test vehicle is now turning laps in the legendary Martini Racing look of many historic Porsche race cars, particularly from the 1970s. More than nearly any other race car design, the Martini Racing look quickly attained cult status in those times and is still in vogue today. Martini was already the official partner of the Porsche factory team between 1973 and 1978. Back then, the attractively designed \u201cMartini Porsche\u201d race cars with their numerous victories were a centre of conversation. These victories included finishing first overall at Targa-Florio in 1973, winning the Sports Car World Championship in 1976 and overall victories at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1976 and 1977. As early as 1971, a Porsche 917 finished first in the legendary endurance race in Le Mans with the support of Martini. Whether a Porsche 908, 917, 935 or 936 or one of various 911 RS or RSR models, common to all of these race cars was the memorable Martini Racing design implemented in a wide variety of forms.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a new edition of this successful partnership is making the Martini Racing design exclusively available to the innovative 918 Spyder. Porsche AG and the Martini brand, represented by Bacardi &amp; Company Limited of Switzerland, have once again signed a partnership agreement to make this possible.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Porsche AG]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving trials of the Porsche 918 Spyder are entering the next phase.
