The task faced by the development team was to create the super sports car for the next decade with a highly efficient and powerful hybrid drive. The 918 Spyder therefore demonstrates the potential of the hybrid drive to a degree never seen before: the parallel improvement of both efficiency and performance without one being at the cost of the other. - Porsche Cars North America
