From Jalopnik:

A possible return to greatness for the once-innovative and most German of all supercar manufacturers, the 918 Spyder is neither a facelifted 911 nor an SUV. Instead, it very much looks like the future of the performance automobile. Massive performance is combined with lightweight materials, low emissions and the kind of fuel economy that'd make the average Prius driver convulse in envy.

Looks like two big holes in the back are access ports to cold fusion reactor. You feed it organic waste and it turns it into power. Luxury model will have gold toilet seats (to handle heat) right above those ports, so both driver and passenger can provide fuel...

Jokes aside, if that mileage claim is accurate then electrical motors are about 760hp and gas one is 9hp Honda outboard...

Now, this is a Hybrid that need's to make no performance apologies to anybody and price be damned!
