Porsche has debuted its 918 Spyder concept car at the Geneva Motor Show. The design and interior architecture of the 918 Spyder combine classic elements with appropriate solutions for the future, said Porsche in a statement.

The mid-engined two-seater brings the performance of a super-sports car with the CO2 emissions of a small compact.  It uses an innovative plug-in hybrid concept that reduces emissions to just 70 grams CO2 per kilometre and fuel consumption to 3.0 litres/100 kilometres (94 mpg imp). As a result, the V8 power unit delivers more than 500 hp and three electric motors with overall output of 160 kW.

On hand for the debut was Michael Macht, president and CEO of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.
