918 Hybrid even faster

Porsche has announced that its 918 Spyder hybrid supercar outperforms the company's previous, already-impressive, performance estimates.
The 918 Spyder with Weissach package (an extra $102,000 on top of the  $1,030,000 estimated purchase price) rocketing to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds, and to 200 km/h in 7.2 seconds from 0, a half-second faster than originally estimated. And zero to 300 km/h comes in 19.9 seconds, more than two seconds quicker than original estimates.
It’s not just about straight line speed either  – the hybrid supercar (with Weissach package) recently set a Nurburgring record for fastest street-legal car with a time of 6:57.
Even using electric power alone the 918 does 0-100km/h in 6.2 seconds (6.1 seconds with Weissach package), well under the seven seconds Porsche was quoting earlier this year.
