There’s Electricity in the Air at Porsche

Posted on 29. Jul, 2010 by PB in News

Just days after announcing the development of three electric drive research models based on the Boxster platform , Porsche lit up the air-waves today when the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG gave a “green light” to the development of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The subject of continuous speculation since it’s unveiling at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show , the Porsche 918 Spyder is perhaps the most anticipated Porsche to come out of Weissach, ever. “Production of the 918 Spyder in a limited series proves that we are taking the right approach with Porsche Intelligent Performance featuring the combination of supreme performance and efficient drivetrain concepts,” said Michael Macht, President and Chairman of the Board of Management of Porsche AG. “We will develop the 918 Spyder in Weissach and assemble it in Zuffenhausen. This is also a very important commitment to Germany as a manufacturing base.” The internet is awash in rumors that pricing on the new Porsche Spyder will be somewhere in the $630,000 range. As of last night, Porsche wouldn’t confirm or deny pricing, but they did say that the numbers currently being thrown about didn’t come from an internal source, officially or otherwise
