But don&#8217;t think for even one power-boosted second that its hybrid initiative was a one-time affair for the Stuttgart-based automaker. Not, at least, if the latest reports from Germany prove accurate.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Auto Motor und Sport<\/em>, mere days after the conclusion of this year&#8217;s race, Porsche is already preparing to campaign a competition-spec version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/porsche918spyder\">918 Spyder<\/a> at the Ring next year. The 918 Spyder concept <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/02\/geneva-2010-the-porsche-918-spyder-concept-is-sexy-hybrid-madne\/\">debuted<\/a> just a few months ago at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/Geneva-Motor-Show\/\">Geneva Motor Show<\/a> to rave reviews. Derived from the same program that gave birth to the 917, 911 GT1 and RS Spyder, the 918 Spyder packs 718 horsepower of combined output, 90 miles per gallon and a simulated Nordschleife lap time of 7:30, making it an ideal machine to contest the grueling endurance race. We&#8217;ll just have to wait a year to find out whether it lives up to its promise or falls victim to arch-rival BMW.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/porsche-918-spyder-concept\/\">Porsche 918 Spyder concept<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/porsche-918-spyder-concept\/#2752307\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/100208_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/porsche-918-spyder-concept\/#2752305\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/100210_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/porsche-918-spyder-concept\/#2822204\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/porsche-918-spyer-pr-large05_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/porsche-918-spyder-concept\/#2822206\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/porsche-918-spyer-pr-large07_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/porsche-918-spyder-concept\/#2822202\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/porsche-918-spyer-pr-large04_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.auto-motor-und-sport.de\/service\/porsche-918-spyder-hybrid-porsche-startet-beim-24h-rennen-2011-1860866.html\">Auto Motor und Sport<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/translate.google.com\/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=de&amp;u=http:\/\/www.auto-motor-und-sport.de\/service\/porsche-918-spyder-hybrid-porsche-startet-beim-24h-rennen-2011-1860866.html&amp;ei=1Tf1S9yaLKPGM-TvtL4F&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=translate&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CBQQ7gEwAA&amp;prev=\/search%3Fq%3Dwww.auto-motor-und-sport.de\/service\/porsche-918-spyder-hybrid-porsche-startet-beim-24h-rennen-2011-1860866.html%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3Du0Q%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official\">translated<\/a>)]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/20\/report-porsche-918-spyder-to-contest-2011-nurburgring-24\/\">Report: Porsche 918 Spyder to contest 2011 N\u00fcrburgring 24<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 20 May 2010 11:01:00 EST.
