9,200RPM V8 "Green" Supercar!

Porsche 918 Spyder
Who says you can't have a high revving V8 with a small carbon footprint without settling for a turbo V6?

High revving NA/Hybrid vs. More "useable" lower revving Turbos.....

Talk amongst yourselves...

Saw it last week at Geneva. Sooo sweet so much presence. Love the styling. Can't wait to see how the production version (if ever) turns out.

Thanks, I'm over on M3post and I think the search engine really sucks. Mods can merge the threads if they wish. Besides, when I first posted this I had it in the M3 general forum section then it was moved. In our section there has been alot of discussion about whether you have to sacrifice high-revving engine for green efficiencny.
