Porsche
is pressing ahead with production of its 94mpg and 500hp 918 Spyder.
Production
development is proceeding apace in the wake of the outstanding customer
response to the concept car unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last year. |  | Thanks
to its unique hybrid technology, the 918 Spyder is estimated to consume a mere
three litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (94 mpg) based on the New European
Driving Cycle (NEDC). Its V8 engine delivers more than 500 hp, assisted by two
electric motors with a total of at least 160 kW (218 hp).
The
918 Spyder is available to order priced from £562,092 , plus VAT and
on-the-road charges.
To
ensure the exclusivity of the 918 Spyder, the two-seater is limited to no more
than 918 units. Production of the 918 Spyder - which will be offered in
left-hand drive only - is scheduled to commence on September 18 2013 ( 9.18.13)
at the main Porsche factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen and delivery of first
vehicles will commence in November.

an action packed end to this year's Six Nations Championship, Stratstone Land
Rover in Cardiff is fielding three new spirited performers of its own - a
hat-trick of stylish, sporting, Special Edition vehicles based on the
Freelander, Discovery and Defender models.
The
Penarth Road dealership line-up is joined by the Freelander 2 SD4 Sport priced
from £33,945, the Discovery 4 SDV6 'Landmark' from £46,945 and the Defender
