This is the launch of Porsche 918 Spyder in Middle East,
last week was in Saudi Arabia and they invited me to ride in passenger seat with one racer in Reem International Circuit but I could not attend.

Last night it was in Kuwait and it was an amazing experience, it has all things that we hate in 991 GT3 and electric motors.

CL is completely different than 997.2 and they almost confirm it is the same one in 991 GT3.

Front track width is wider than rear by 5cm, 4 wheel drive using electric power in acceleration and braking, in braking it can do 0.5g brake force by only the electric motors.

it can generate down force up to 400kg by electric open/closed tubes in front

rear steering as well

Price starting from 1M USD
now for the exhaust notes here it is

Sounds like it needs a tune up.

I saw one on the street yesterday..

I got the email too. Beside the price, i'm not interested in all the "assists" or electric power and weight. Allan

FEKGT3

Got the email as well.

sounds almost like a ferrari V8- I like the raspy note.

maroli

less power and significantly more weight than its competitors. the Fezza has THAT engine and looks fantastic and the Mclaren has sophisticated aero. the Porsche has...better all-electric range. I hope it's an awesome drive but it doesn't look as compelling on paper at least.

We have a Porsche Club event on Wednesday to see the 918 and then it'll be displayed during the GT3 Cup ME final over the weekend
