    Porsche has released full details on its upcoming flagship sportscar, pricing the hybrid machine at an astronomical $845,000. Combining the original concept with Porsche’s ongoing hybrid race car technology the carbon chassis 918 will get a “high revving†V8 engine making in excess of 500-hp mated to a plug-in hybrid drive system with two electric motors, adding “at least†an additional 218-hp. Those motors will be attached, one at each axle, effectively making the 918 an AWD machine.

    78 mpg for only $845,000? Sign me up! I wonder what kind of MPG I will get if pulse & glide with it.

    I think I recognize that flying bridge design from somewhere also!

    Remember when Toyota made the MR2 Spyder and everyone called it the "Toyota Boxster?"
    I think Toyota should take a shot at this one. :)
    I would gladly buy. :)

    They can call it the Toyota Supra FT-86 H ! :D
