The Porsche 918 RSR Concept is a modern innovative sports car that mixes elegance and competitiveness into one sleek package. It features muscular wheel arches, dynamic air intakes, plus a cockpit that is sure to impress. Body dimensions and details feature a liquid metal chrome blue color, sculpted curves, and long stripes for a race dominating look. As for its powerplant, Porsche claims that, “The V8 engine is a further development of the direct injection engine from the successful RS Spyder race car and now offers an output of precisely 563 hp at 10,300/rpm in the 918 RSR. The electric motors on the two front wheels each contribute 75 kW, i.e. a total of 150 kW, to the peak drive power of exactly 767 hp. This additional power, which is generated during braking, is stored in an optimised flywheel accumulator.”

Drooling, I’m pretty sure that Porsche has a flux capacitor in here.

Something spectacular” was what Porsche promised to reveal upon their return to the Detroit Auto Show after two years of absence. The company did not oversell. Its new car, the Porsche 918 RSR is spectacular, but it’s also an interesting proposition. Rather than just tack a coupe top onto their 918 concept car, they’ve gone and made it into a racing laboratory, complete with the company’s remarkable flywheel accumulator hybrid system riding shotgun in the passenger seat.
