Good Work! Porsche 918 Will Likely See Production Thanks Public Interest

To those of you that can likely afford the Porsche 918 concept you see above and wrote in to Porsche to express your interest, give yourselves a pat on the back.

It’s because of you that Porsche now has a business case to actually build the 918. We mentioned a while back that Porsche would only consider building it if there was interest, so we pushed for people to write in. And it worked.

Porsche required “1,000 seriously interested people to build a business case” said the development chief for Porsche, Wolfgang Duerheimer. To date, they have 900 seriously interested people with the expectation of that number growing beyond 1,000.

Even if they somehow don’t reach that magic 1,000 number, Porsche is likely to build the 918 anyway. They built the Carerra GT afterall and that car, even though it isn’t around today, really set the benchmark in the hypercar world.

No doubt the 918′s supposed 0-100 in 3.2 seconds and its 3 L per 100 kms rating will also be benchmarking.

This is one of the many reasons why we adore Porsche.
