\nIf you build it, they will come. That’s our advice to Porsche<\/a> regarding a production version of the 918 Spyder Concept<\/a> that wowed attendees at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> earlier this month. Somehow, though, we’d imagine that the German automaker would want a more solid business case than our personal opinions. Good news, then.<\/p>\n

Rumor has it that Porsche is actively working with its dealers to find enough buyers ready and willing to plunk down their hard-earned dollars on the next halo car from the quintessential sportscar maker. Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Dürheimer says that the company would be rather pleased “if customer feedback is positive and we end up over time with about 1,000 firm orders.”<\/p>\n

If Porsche were to put its hybrid 918 Spyder into limited production<\/a>, it wouldn’t be without precedent. Back in the early 2000s, Porsche used a similar tactic to put its awesome Carrera GT on the market… and we all know how that turned out<\/a>. As we said before: If you build it, they will come. Trust us. Oh, and there’s a bunch of new images in our high-res gallery below… just in case you’re in the market for a new desktop background.<\/p>\n
