The supercar is capable of hitting 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, while 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) is achieved in 7.9 seconds. The 918 Spyder needs 23 seconds from 0 to 186 mph (300 km/h), en route to a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h).

Porsche says that the production version of the 918 Spyder will return 71.2 mpg US (85.6 mpg UK or 3.3 liters / 100 km), while CO2 emissions stand at 79 g/km which is excellent taking into consideration the power of the supercar.
