The Porsche Spyder concept combines high-tech racing features with electric-mobility to offer a fascinating range of qualities. The Porsche Spyder is one of three Porsche models with hybrid drive making their world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. This trio - made up of Porsche's new Cayenne S Hybrid SUV with parallel full-hybrid drive, the GT3 R Hybrid race car with electric drive on the front axle and a flywheel mass battery, and the two-seater high-performance Porsche Spyder mid-engined sports car with plug-in hybrid technology - clearly demonstrates not only the great bandwidth of this new drive technology, but also the innovative power of Porsche as a genuine pioneer in hybrid drive.

The highly-innovative Porsche Spyder concept car combines Porsche's Intelligent Performance philosophy with the high-technology from motorsport, with classic but modern design to make a truly convincing statement. This open two-seater is powered by a high-revving V8 developing more than horsepower and a maximum engine speed of 9, rpm - as well as electric motors on the front and rear axle with overall mechanical output of horsepower kW.

The V8 combustion engine is the next step in the evolution of the highly successful 3. Power is transmitted to the wheels by a seven-speed Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe PDK transmission that feeds the power of the electric drive system to the rear axle.

The front-wheel electric drive powers the wheels through a fixed transmission ratio. The energy reservoir is a fluid-cooled lithium-ion battery positioned behind the passenger cell.

The big advantage of a plug-in hybrid is that the battery can be charged on the regular electrical network. A further point is that the car's kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy fed into the battery when applying the brakes, thus providing additional energy for fast and dynamic acceleration.

A button on the steering wheel allows the driver to choose among four different running modes: The E-Drive mode is for running the car under electric power alone, with a range of up to 25 km or 16 miles. In the Hybrid mode, the Porsche Spyder uses both the electric motors and the combustion engine as a function of driving conditions and requirements, offering a range from particularly fuel-efficient all the way to extra-powerful.

The Sport Hybrid mode uses both drive systems, but with the focus on performance. Most of the drive power goes to the rear wheels, with Torque Vectoring serving to additionally improve the car's driving dynamics.

In the Race Hybrid mode the drive systems are focused on pure performance with the highest standard of driving dynamics on the track, running at the limit to their power and dynamic output. With the battery sufficiently charged, a push-to-pass button feeds in additional electrical power E-Boost , when overtaking or for even better performance. With the hybrid drive system offering this wide range of individual modes and applications, the Porsche Spyder is able either to achieve lap times comparable to those of a thoroughbred racing car, or the extremely low emissions and high fuel economy figures of a plug-in hybrid.

Like the drivetrain, the lightweight body structure of the Porsche Spyder also bears out the car's DNA carried over directly from motorsport: The modular structure with its monocoque bodyshell made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic CFP and liberal use of magnesium and aluminum not only reduce weight to below 1, kg, or 3, lb, but also ensure supreme driving precision thanks to a high level of torsional stiffness.
