Shame they won’t use some of the carbon fiber on the next iteration, that would be epic. And with so much weight removed from the very top of the car I have to imagine it has incredible handling.

I didnt look closely the first time, but these gauges indicate a hybrid or electric? The literature doesn’t say either.

Wonder if my wife would let me cut the windshield off from her Spyder. I like the clear-ish engine cover too.

Good catch with the ZERO EMISSION and CHARGE lettering. Ironically, there's a gas pump icon in the gauge to the right. Hard to figure that out, unless it's a hybrid where the gas motor doesn't come on unless the battery discharges completely, like Chevy Volt (I think they were that way.) Then I suppose you could call it Zero Emission, since it could be run in zero emission mode.

There's no hybrid or electric. Since it's a prototype car, they just ripped out the cluster from the 918. It's the GT4 motor.

They only took the time to put a Bergspyder sticker over the 918.
