Porsche 918 Spyder nails a 7:14 minute Nurburgring lap

A Porsche 918 Spyder prototype turned in a remarkable best time of just 07:14 minutes for the 20.6 km long circuit. One year before its production launch, the plug-in hybrid super sports car from Porsche AG is already proving its superlative dynamic performance potential far surpassing all expectations placed in it. Dr. Frank Walliser, overall project leader for the 918 Spyder: “By turning in a fabulous time of 07:14 minutes, the 918 Spyder prototype has already fully confirmed the viability of its future concept after just a few months on the road.”

The lap time of the Porsche 918 Spyder prototype is one of the best ever clocked for street-legal vehicles with standard production tires. The course was only available to the development team from Weissach for one lap, and it had to be started from a standstill. The plug-in hybrid super sports car with over 795 hp was equipped with production tires from development partner Michelin as well as the optional “Weissach” package, which integrates modifications that boost driving performance.

2013 Porsche Boxster Anticipation on Youtube

The iconic cars and racing legends that inspired the new 2013 Porsche Boxster anxiously wait to get out on the track with the next great Porsche. See what happens when the storm finally passes.

Porsche finally unveils video from the Boxster Road trip. Rain isn’t forever, but a roadster is. A couple of months ago, Porsche invited 9 Magazine down to Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama for the filming of this video. It was a mid-engine paradise.

Sunday was a bleak and desolate day, and not much filming or track time was available for us. Monday, however, was completely the opposite, and we were all nearly afraid of getting a bit of sunburn.

This newest video release plays on the weather that was. The new Boxster is worth waiting through the rainy days to get to the juicy sunshiny roadster days! They are few and far between, but 100% worth the wait.
