What the old dream of a sports car
needed: an initial spark.
The 918 Spyder.
It’s not the easiest thing to write sports car history and, at the same time,
redefine the future of the sports car. However, our engineers would not be
happy with anything less.
The goal was clear: a super sports car. The parameters: the most efficient
drive possible combined with an extremely high output. The initial spark:
a high-performance hybrid with a highly emotive V8 racing engine and two
additional electric machines (motors/generators). The crucial step: the
combination of three drives delivering a total output of 652 kW (887 hp)
with incredible torque of up to 1,280 Nm. The car also represents the future
of efficiency. Thanks to a series of measures, such as recuperation, the
electric machines help to reduce fuel consumption to just 3.3–3.0 litres per
100 km when an efficient driving style is adopted. ‘E-boost’ and an additional
output of 210 kW (286 hp) are also included. The map switch controls four
different driving modes plus a ‘Hot Lap’ configuration to ensure optimum
interaction between the electric machines and combustion engine depending
on the driving scenario and style. Simply groundbreaking.
Our engineers then went one step further. The 918 Spyder features an
extremely lightweight construction derived from the world of motorsport.
Both the load-bearing structures of the 918 Spyder, the monocoque and
subframe, and its outer skin are made of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer
(CFRP). Combined with high-end technologies such as rear-axle steering,
active aerodynamics and the first ‘top pipes’ ever featured on a production
vehicle one thing is clear: pioneering performance is no longer a thing of the
future – it’s right here, right now.

The 918 Spyder and motorsport tradition.
The 918 Spyder possesses all the qualities of a flawless racing car:
performance, efficiency, lightweight construction, purism. Along with
something very special: history. It all began with a white piece of paper on
which the 918 Spyder was created from scratch. In order to understand the
direction the 918 Spyder is taking in the 21st century, it’s useful to take a
look back at our racing past.
Porsche has always been closely linked with motorsport. Since 1948 – and
from the very first second. Back then, it was a racing version of the Porsche
356 that secured a class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. One of the first of
more than 30,000 victories on the track to date. The principle remains the
same today: small, agile sports cars with a comparatively low cubic capacity,
but a great deal of eagerness to perform. This pinprick strategy soon turned
into sporting dominance. 1970 and 1971 saw the start of a new era in Le
Mans with formidable overall wins by the Porsche 917. With the 918 Spyder,
Porsche has taken this heritage and applied it to the road.

Another model from which the 918 Spyder is derived: the RS Spyder. Its V8
unit formed the basis for the high-revving engine in the performance hybrid.
The carbon fibre monocoque laid important foundations for the body design
and its lightweight chassis provided the template for the 918 Spyder chassis
concept.

Drive concept.
You can build high-performance sports cars. Or you can build efficient
vehicles. You can have one, but not the other. Or so they say. Alternatively,
you can look at things from a different perspective. The idea of something
being unfeasible really provides us with impetus. We wanted to achieve both.
That’s why we focused all of our efforts on integrating the plug-in technology.
The vision: to achieve maximum performance and high levels of efficiency as
part of a harmonious overall concept. The implementation: we developed a
completely new type of vehicle, uniting the benefits of a conventional drive
with those of a purely electric concept – in a way that has never before been
seen in a super sports car. The efficiency and torque of two electric machines
combined with the impressive performance of a highly dynamic, naturally
aspirated V8 engine. In short: the best of two worlds. In one super sports car.
The 918 Spyder as a performance hybrid.
Not all hybrids are the same. The configuration and function of the engine
and motors are what turn the 918 Spyder into a performance hybrid. It can
be driven at the rear axle by the combustion engine or powered solely by the
electric machine at the rear. Or by both working in tandem. The drive strategy
also incorporates a second electric machine on the front axle, which drives
the front wheels. Torque is automatically distributed between the axles by
an innovative drive control system, electric Porsche Traction Management
(ePTM; see p. 49).
In summary, the 918 Spyder achieves outstanding performance figures
using three power sources. A system output of 652 kW (887 hp) and overall
torque in excess of 800 Nm between 800 and 5,000 rpm. In seventh gear,
maximum system torque is as high as 1,280 Nm. The maximum engine speed
is 9,150 rpm.

>> 918 Spyder <<
High-revving V8 engine.
Let’s look at the facts. A 4.6-litre displacement and the highest power
density of a naturally aspirated Porsche engine: 97 kW (132 hp). And yet
it is also the lightest V8 unit that we’ve ever put into series production.
Developed exclusively for the 918 Spyder – by the same engineers who
brought the RS Spyder to the track. Extraordinarily successful, as
demonstrated by numerous racing victories. Thanks to an output of 447 kW
(608 hp), the high-performance unit is as powerful as a racing engine. We
call this motorsport DNA. Weighing in at a mere 135 kg and positioned low, it
has all the prerequisites for extremely dynamic performance and the highest
levels of precision in terms of power delivery. Both on road and track.
Electric machines.
Ahead of their time: the two electric machines which power the 918 Spyder
in conjunction with the combustion engine. Sitting ahead of the rear axle and
behind the front axle, they offer incredibly high performance in relation to
their size and weight. The total mechanical output is 210 kW (285 hp), with
95 kW (129 hp) at the front axle and 115 kW (156 hp) at the rear axle, which
means that the 918 Spyder has the highest electric motor output of any
production hybrid. And with an all-electric top speed of up to 150 km/h
and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h under electric power in
6.9 seconds (918 Spyder with Weissach package: 6.8 seconds), you’ll get
all the performance you’d expect from a drive system bearing the Porsche
name.
The electric drive is also extremely responsive and offers maximum torque of
475 Nm from a standing start – for emphatic acceleration from the word go.
This outstanding performance and ultra-fast response make for highly efficient
electric all-wheel drive functionality.
12
13
>> 918 Spyder <<
High-performance traction battery.
The highest specific power output in a production vehicle. This not only
applies to the V8 racing engine, but also to the battery. With 1.7 kW/kg of
power, it is way ahead of its time. The liquid-cooled lithium-ion traction battery
was developed specially for the 918 Spyder – and has a performance-oriented design. Producing an output of 230 kW, it is currently the most powerful
hybrid battery. Thanks to an extremely high energy content of 6.8 kWh, a
very fast power delivery and the electric boost from the electric machines,
it satisfies all the energy requirements you’d expect of a 21st century super
sports car.
The traction battery can be charged using a conventional power socket
via the vehicle charge port (plug-in). The battery can also be charged while
driving: firstly, in recuperation mode, whereby some of the vehicle’s kinetic
energy is converted into electrical energy by the electric machines, e.g.
during braking. Secondly, to improve the efficiency in certain driving
scenarios, the combustion engine can be used to drive the rear electric
machine which then, operating in generator mode, charges the traction
battery. The result: greater energy reserves for extremely fast lap times.
Or driving solely under electric power.
Exhaust system with top pipes.
During the series development process of the 918 Spyder, our engineers
did not want to accept that the particularly effective exhaust system used in
motorsport could not also be applied to the road. For a super sports car, at
least.
So, we ventured into completely new territory. The result: an innovative
thermodynamic air channelling concept that enables the exhaust gases to
be released via the shortest possible route – they are channelled out of the
vehicle through the top pipes immediately above the engine. This keeps the
exhaust-gas back pressure low, thereby enhancing performance and fuel
economy. The acoustic effect: the distinctive Porsche engine sound that
stokes the emotionality of the 918 Spyder.
There is another benefit too in line with the technical requirements of a plug-in
hybrid: the heat from the combustion engine is released more quickly.

vehicle dynamics and stability. Depending on the steering angle and
steering speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle
speed, PTV Plus is able to improve steering response and steering
precision by specific braking of the left or right rear wheel. To be
more precise, this means that when the car is driven assertively into
a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the
outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse which
supports the steering motion of the car.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PTV Plus significantly increases
agility and steering precision. At high speeds, during fast cornering
and under wheel spin, the electronically controlled rear differential lock
ensures greater stability.
