New Book Celebrates Cult of the Porsche 918 Spyder

Not every car can generate the kind of following that demands its own book. The Porsche 918 Spyder doesn’t need to worry about such a challenge with a passionate and dedicated following.

A new book with a title as intricate as the car’s drivetrain explores the cult built around the Spyder. The tome is (…deep breath…) Porsche 918 Spyder (English and German Edition) Limited and Numbered Edition is an in-depth photographic exploration of the now legendary car.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is the first, successful, mid-engined, plug-in hybrid supercar. Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.6 liter V8 engine putting out 608 horsepower. Two electric motors add another 279 horsepower for a combined total of 887 horsepower. That results in a top speed of 210 mph.

Publishers Delius Klasing presents a thorough look at the development, engineering and reception of this extraordinary car. It’s a bi-lingual, three book collection featuring a picture book, story book and fact book to complete the overall look. Such a complete look at the car carries a supercar-worthy price of $275.
