Porsche 918 Spyder: a Ride In Porsche's Hybrid Hypercar - CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
Porsche was testing the 918 at the Nurburgring, they invited us to take a quick ride on the road, not on the track sadly. I normally hate these shotgun features, unless they involve Group B cars, but the 918 needs some understanding.
3x Porsche 918 Spyder on the Road - with Walter Röhrl, Harry Metcalfe and Jochen Übler - 1080p HD
Last monday I filmed and photographed 3 pieces of the new Porsche 918 Spyder at the Nürburgring, Nordschleife.
We believe that it was a press preview from Porsche, because we saw some celebrity on the passenger seat like Harry Metcalfe from EVO Magazine and Jochen Übler, test chief from Auto Motor and Sport, and Walter Röhrl driving the 918 Spyder
Thanks you for watching.
Keno & Philipp.

Walter Röhrl: DVD "Walter Röhrl auf dem Nürburgring" - Ausschnitte
Erleben Sie mit „Walter Röhrl auf dem Nürburgring" wie zwei der größten Namen der Motorsportgeschichte Aufeinandertreffen: der zweifache Rallye-Weltmeister auf einer der aufregendsten Rennstrecken der Welt.
Begleiten Sie den Champion auf seiner Zeitreise zu den Wurzeln des legendären Porsche 911 und erleben Sie im Renntempo, was die Fahrweise dieses Ausnahmetalents auszeichnet.
Im direkten Vergleich mit weitaus leistungsstärkeren Fahrzeugen und bei wechselnden Wetterverhältnissen zirkelt er seinen fast 50 Jahre alten Porsche 911 S millimetergenau durch die Grüne Hölle und beweist, wie sich über 1.000 Runden auf dem über 25 km langen Eifelkurs bezahlt machen.
Auf der zweiten DVD kommentiert Walter Röhrl die besten Runden und aufregendsten Situationen und erinnert sich zurück an besondere Karrieremomente und legendäre Erlebnisse auf seiner Lieblingsrennstrecke.
Ambitionierten Sportwagenfahrern gibt er Tipps, worauf sie beim Befahren der Nordschleife achten müssen und wo die besonderen Gefahren lauern. Die Aufnahmen sind im Rahmen des AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix entstanden, wo beim AvD-Historic-Marathon GTs und Tourenwagen der Baujahre bis 1965 aufeinandertreffen. Im Starterfeld finden sich viele weitere Legenden der Rennsportgeschichte, unter anderem Aston Martin DB4, Jaguar E-Type, Ford Mustang und Porsche 904/6.

edo competition und der neue Porsche 918 Spyder
2013 kommt der neue Hybrid-Supersportwagen von Porsche auf den Markt und edo competition nahm schon jetzt teil an den ersten Fahrten des 918 Spyder in der vergangen Woche in Leipzig. Was wir dort erlebten, haben wir in einem kleinen Film festgehalten. So viel sei schon jetzt verraten; die Fahrleistungen der Hochleistungssportlers stellen alles andere in den Schatten, was Porsche bisher auf die Straße gelassen hat. Ein Parallel-Hybridantrieb und zwei Elektromotoren entfesseln kombiniert rund 795 PS und in unter 2,9 Sekunden geht es von null auf 100 km/h, wirklich beeindruckend und sehr faszinierend.
Walter Röhrl and Porsche 904 GTS - Two Legends

The 904's mid-engine layout was inherited from the 718, also known as the RSK (from the German term for racing, Rennsport), the factory's leading race car. It was powered by the 1,966 cc (120 cu in) Type 587/3, four-cam flat four-cylinder engine producing 198 hp (148 kW), "probably the most complex four-cylinder" ever. It drove a five-speed transmission with a standard 4.428:1 final drive, with available 4.605, 4.260, 3.636, and 3.362 ratios.
Begun as the Type 547, its development began in 1953, when the previous VW-based 1,100 cc (67 cu in) flat-four, used in the contemporary 356 and rated at 38 hp (28 kW), hit the limit of its potential. Porsche realized it needed something all-new. The brainchild of Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, later Technical Director, it was hoped to achieve an "unheard of" 70 hp (52 kW) per 1 l (61 cu in), relying on hemispherical combustion chambers (what would be called hemi in the U.S.) and 46 mm (1.8 in)-throat 46IDA3 three-choke Weber carburetors to generate 112 hp (84 kW) from the 1,500 cc (92 cu in) four-cam engine. The 1.5 liter weighed 310 lb (140 kg) dry, eventually producing 180 hp (134 kW). A complex design that proved "very taxing" to build and assemble, but very durable, it was used in 34 different models, including 550 Spyders, 356 Carreras, and F2/1s.

Porsche RS Spyder laps Bathurst
Previously a dominant force in endurance races in North America during the 2006 and 2007 seasons, the iconic yellow and red Porsche RS Spyder undertook a new challenge this October: Mount Panorama, Bathurst. This 2006 American Le Mans Series LMP2-winning Porsche, the first ever RS Spyder in competition, completed demonstration laps at the world famous Bathurst track driven by Dutch sports car ace - and 2008 Le Mans class-winner in an RS Spyder - Jeroen Bleekemolen. Best known for its success in the American Le Mans Series against its more powerful LMP1 rivals, the development of the 480 hp (353 kW) RS Spyder prototype was the first new project built by Porsche exclusively for racing since its successful 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans campaign with the Porsche 911 GT1.
