Yahoo's news on it. Faster than the GT and it can get 78 mpg in wife mode.

Yahoo says "918 Spyder Concept hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.2 seconds, and it blasts to a top speed of 198 mph. Not only that, it laps the Nürburgring in less than 7 minutes 30 seconds, which means it’s even faster than the hallowed Carrera GT."

This will be great, but it's going to be a lot of money. That motor is out of the RS spyder (go ahead and price a spare) and that's before we get to the electrics.

Does give me an excuse to get a magnetic Hybrid decal for the HOV lane
