Porsche’s list of supercars is rather small, with the Porsche 959, the Carrera GT, and the 911 GT1 the only true “supercars” Porsche has made. Buyers both in Germany and in China ordered around 100 cars. Of the 918 cars 297 were ordered for USA. The last, 918th, order was taken in November 2014 for the car to be finished by the middle of 2015. 918 was produced at the Porsche’s main factory in Stuttgart (for comparison, the Carrera GT was produced in Leipzig, with only the engine made in Stuttgart). On MaPorsche started taking orders and on Septemmaking of the first production 918 started. Michael Drolshagen was appointed as the director of the 918 production. 8 pilot vehicles for testing different components aswell as 25 prototypes were made.

Production of the brand ended entirely in June, 2015. In an independent series of speed tests performed by Car and Driver Magazine, the Porsche 918, achieved a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) of just 2.6 seconds, a 0-100 mph (0-161 km/h) time of 4.9 seconds and a 0-180 mph (0-290 km/h) time of just 17.5 seconds. Each car had a starting price of $845,000 (U.S.), yet the Spyder sold out quickly in December, 2014.
Paired with this engine are two electric motors that deliver an additional 279 horsepower each, for a cumulative combined total of 887 horsepower (661 kW.) Production on the Porsche 918 began on September 18, 2013, with the brand’s first deliveries scheduled to begin in December 2013. The Spyder was powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine that was capable of producing 608 horsepower (453 kW).
