 The Porsche 918 Spyder embodies the essence of the Porsche idea, combining pedigree motor racing technology with excellent everyday suitability, and maximum performance with minimum consumption. The début of the 918 Spyder at the IAA 2013 marks the start of a new chapter in the future of the hybrid drive.

And the technology pioneers are not the only ones who are excited by this flagship project, as the 918 Spyder demonstrates the potential of the hybrid drive to a degree never seen before, achieving a parallel improvement in both fuel efficiency and performance without compromising on either. This is the idea that has made the Porsche 911 the most successful sportscar in the world for the past 50 years. In short, the 918 Spyder contains the genetic blueprint for the Porsche sportscar of the future.

 Driving the 918 is a slightly strange experience to begin with, even though one of Porsche's main targets when fine-tuning the car was to make it as natural and intuitive as possible. In E-drive mode, for instance, it's powered purely by the two electric motors: one for the front axle, the other for the rear. Together they generate enough power to launch the 918 from zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds.

The spooky thing in E-drive is that there's no perceptible noise from the two electric motors. Instead you just turn the key, select Drive, press the throttle and glide away. With the lithium-ion battery pack fully charged, there's about 20 miles of range in E-drive.

Press harder on the accelerator and — boom! — the V8 is awakened and you find yourself being propelled by a combination of gasoline and electric power. At that point the monster from within reveals its true colors and you realize that the 918 is, in fact, still just a good old-fashioned V8 supercar at its core.

The transition is surprisingly smooth so long as you're not clumsy with the pedal, and if you then back away from the throttle for a few seconds, the V8 will switch off and you're back into electric mode again, listening to the air rushing by the massive 21-inch diameter, 325/30 Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires rumbling away beneath.

 Porsche Active Aerodynamic (PAA) is a system of adjustable aerodynamic elements that provides a unique and variable aerodynamic response. The system works in three stages, switching automatically between optimum efficiency and maximum downforce, and working in harmony with the operating modes of the hybrid drive.

In "Race" mode, the retractable rear wing is set to a steep angle to generate high downforce at the rear axle. The spoiler, which is positioned between the two wing supports at the trailing edge of the airflow, also extends. Two adjustable air flaps are opened in the underbody in front of the front axle, directing some of the air into the diffuser channels of the underbody structure to also produce a "ground effect" at the front axle.

 In "Sport" mode, the aerodynamics control system reduces the approach angle of the rear wing slightly, enabling a higher top speed. The spoiler remains extended but the aerodynamic flaps in the underbody close, which also reduces aerodynamic drag and increases the potential vehicle speed. In "E" mode, the system focuses solely on low aerodynamic drag; the rear wing and spoiler are retracted and the underbody flaps are closed. Adjustable air intakes under the main headlights round off the adaptive aerodynamics system. When the vehicle is stationary and in "Race" or "Sport" mode, the intakes are opened to enable maximum cooling. In "E-Power" and "Hybrid" mode, the air intakes close as soon as the vehicle is driven off in order to keep aerodynamic drag to a minimum. They are not opened again until the vehicle reaches speeds of approximately 130 km/h or when cooling requirements are higher.

In isolation the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder is a really quite fantastic amalgam of ultra-high-tech and conventional engineering and, as a result, provides a hitherto undreamt about combination of massive performance, reasonable refinement, surprising drivability and quite incredible real-world economy for a car of this kind.

But the best bit about it is how natural and pure it feels to drive. At its core, and despite its dizzying technology, the 918 is just a cracking good thing to climb aboard and go for a blast in. And it's cataclysmically fast, too, without ever feeling scary or edgy or overwhelming.

Most drivers could, after a while, get quite close to what this car can do near its limit. It really is that friendly to drive. And some people will get closer to the edge in it than ever before. There are other similar supercars on the horizon like the McLaren P1 and LaFerrari, but they will need to be very special to deliver a wider range of abilities than the 918.
