Did you see the price? $845K if my eyes didn't deceive me. Do I get a tax credit?

But it is super fast and nice.

Goverment will Help
 

From and earlier article.....

"The 918 Spyder is eligible for a potential $3,667 federal tax credit for purchase of advanced hybrid vehicles, if you were on the fence about that $845,000 MSRP and it is eligible for HOV lanes where applicable."

Nothing stopping you now :D

I think I will have to write (and sell) about a ka-gillion more books!

The thing which gets me about this car is that it looks like a petite cab forward design, but it isn't.

It's about the same size of the Carrera GT, which is though not a large car, it isn't RSK/RS-60 sized either.

My buddy and I were at the Nordschliefe a couple weeks ago when this went down. It was maddening trying to get videos of the thing. They'd do a lap or two then be gone for 2 hrs...only to reappear and rip off a nother couple laps. Sounded like no other car. Almost like a slightly de-tuned F-1 car. You could hear him coming half a minute before he go there. Wicked fast!

It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid. It's a hybrid.

Pure. Energy. The 918 Spyder.

How does one top this? Seriously? I mean in 25 years this car may be just OK?
