Porsche's 918 Concept Takes A Step Closer To Reality

Bloomberg reports:

Porsche AG said it has almost 900 potential buyers for its 918 Spyder hybrid prototype as the manufacturer moves toward approving production of the vehicle.

Porsche, which unveiled the 918 Spyder at the Geneva auto show last month, will probably decide to build the model once 1,000 potential customers have pledged interest, Porsche’s development chief, Wolfgang Duerheimer, said in an interview at the Beijing Auto Show.

Now this is what I am talking about?. This is how a Porsche should look like. Take out the Cayenne and Boxster and have the Cayman, 911's, and this 918 Spyder and produce a CGT successor and I see great things happening for the company.

I guess thats why you are not the CEO or CFO of a successful Auto Manufacturer.

For every M3 BMW sells, it sells over 15 320s
For every RS4 Audi Sells it sells over 20 A4 2.0 TDIs

So if you think Porsche would be as successful as it has been up to now with just the 911 & Cayman in its fleet........
