Look what was on our yard today - Off topic

I guess there are only a thousand of these worldwide. Welcome to the age of low energy consumption and fuel efficiency. :-)

Looks fast. What is it?

A Porsche 918 Spyder E-Power. 918 pcs. will be build. At 768.000 € it is a bargain. :-)

Limited-Edition 918 Spyder Electric Hybrid…  A rare car indeed!

For $900k, I'd expect slightly better fit and finish.  Seriously, that is sloppy:

Damn! This car is fantastic. I really love the 918 Spyder!

If you look closer you will realize that the gaps are actually a design feature. Look at the first pic. The hood looks strange from the angle I had chosen. Again look at the first pic and translate what you see to photo of the hood. Trust me the gap has the exact same distance on all parts. I am a lousy photographer and only had little time.

Any decent rep out there?

[gasebah]

It's obviously a V1 rep.

Let's wait for the V2: with the current rep prices, selling a couple of APs will give me money to get one of these...

I spotted one here in Toronto, around the time of the film festival.  Gorgeous car. 

 

I especially love the 918 because it makes a mockery of EU regs, with exactly enough battery power to post ~80mpg fuel efficiency numbers.  Yet few media outlets will highlight this, as they're so desperate to trumpet a sexy "green" sports car!

 

And if hood fit bothers you, check out the panel gaps on the Ferrari 458 and the Bugatti Veyron!
