Available as a base model or with the Weissach Package, the 2016 Porsche 918 Spyder is a zenith of sports car power and handling. Able to draw power from both gas and electricity, this leviathan of a plug-in convertible promises a new, pulse-pounding adventure with each engine rev. To stay current on the 918 Spyder’s availability, Fremont, Newark, and San Francisco Peninsula drivers are welcome to get in touch with the team at Porsche Fremont!
Combining the power of a 608-hp 4.6L V8 gas engine, two front/rear electric motors, and a 6.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, this two-door convertible outputs a grand total of 887 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque. Harnessing the 918 Spyder’s colossal engine power is a 7-speed automated manual Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission, as well as adaptive suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. Five hybrid drive modes – E-Power, Hybrid, Sport Hybrid, Race Hybrid, and Hot Lap – control the amount of gas-electric power and how it’s used. The optional Weissach Package adds magnesium wheels, and trims the base 918 Spyder down to about 3,615 pounds, streamlining its already legendary handling.
A Sports Car’s Sports Car
Bolting from point A to point B on 20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels, the road-hugging 2016 Porsche 918 Spyder sets the bar for aerodynamic performance. With an epic hybrid powertrain resting under the hood, and a lithe, purposeful body structure, this convertible dominates with its seemingly endless strain of power. A variety of exterior colors and film coatings are available with the Weissach Package, allowing Fremont and Newark drivers to further customize the 918 Spyder for the road or dragstrip. The Porsche Active Aerodynamic system also comes standard and modifies different elements of the 918 Spyder, based on the driving mode selected. For example, in Race mode, the 918 Spyder steepens its angle to create stronger downforce, and opens two air flaps near the front axle for optimal airflow.
Touch Base with Top-Notch Infotainment Features
The race-ready look and feel of the 2016 Porsche 918 Spyder is offset by its collection of easy-access convenience and technology features. Standard leather trim and Porsche’s signature rising center console reaffirm the 918 Spyder convertible’s monstrous performance capabilities. The 7-inch touchscreen puts San Francisco Peninsula drivers at the helm of a multitude of cabin functions, including a navigation system, rearview camera, Bluetooth, and dual-zone climate control for its two-passenger interior. Eleven speakers are strategically placed throughout the cabin as part of the standard Burmester Surround-Sound System, which lets you listen to your favorite tunes in crystal-clear quality as you zip down city streets, highways, and tracks.
