I actually saw one of these on the street in San Diego a week ago. Couldn't believe my eyes! At first I didn't even recognize it, then, "Hey, that's a Porsche...wtf?" Once I realized it was the new 918, I looked it up on Google - $845,000 USD (damn!), and the article said they just started production in December, so this guy must have gotten one of the first ones and then had it flown to the U.S. Car still had European plates on it.

I have to say that in person it looked quite beautiful in my eyes. My friend got a pic with his cam, still waiting for him to send me a copy. I'll post as soon as I receive it.
 
The final 918 has been built:

That was pretty fast. I don't think even Ferrari or McLaren have shown off their last halo cars (if they've even been built yet).
 
Once the LaFerrari and P1 are ready, I am 90% sure they'll beat the 918 by a couple seconds. It's amazing how technology advanced so quickly. How hybrids can beat a regular old gasoline powered supercar.

Surprisingly until Now, neither McLaren or Ferrari have told the world if they have beaten 918's current record :lol: ]
 
We saw 4 918s on our Le Mans trip, three in silver and one in white. Even in fairly drab colours this car looks stunning. It's much prettier than the P1, but it doesn't have the visual punch of the Macca.
