Having previously covered the McLaren P1 (P1 GTR to be exact) and LaFerrari which are the other two members of a group of hypercars that are known as the Holy Trinity, I felt it was time to give some attention to the 3rd, which also happens to be a car I really like as well. The Porsche 918 Spyder. The 918 Spyder is powered by a hybrid V8 engine. The V8 itself has 608 horsepower and combined with two electric motors that add around 282 additional horsepower, the car in total has around 875 horsepower.

With around 2000 units to be produced, the 911 Dakar is quite rare as well.  Interestingly enough, the 911 Dakar is already sold out. With Porsche seemingly getting a great success with the 911 Dakar with the car being sold out not long after it was launched, it will be interesting to see if the supercar off roader concept...
