Imagine 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds, lap times at Nurburgring faster than a Carrera GT, top speed of 198 mph, and most amazingly fuel economy of 78mpg and you have the Porsche 918 Spyder. It’s a serious statement of intent from Porsche and is wowing everyone at the Geneva Motor Show.

Porsche is reportedly using the Panamera as a basis for a new, luxury 2+2 grand tourer which will be available in 2012 but that harks back to the legendary 928 from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
