Revell of Germany Porsche 918 Spyder - 1/24

Description

It is one of the fastest production cars in the world, with a top speed of 211 mph and a 0-60 of just under three seconds. It is also incredibly fuel efficient-getting roughly 85 mpg from its combination of V8 engine and front and rear electric motors. Stylistically, it is a thing of incredible beauty. Want one? It started at over $800,000, sold out, and price has only increased on the used car market. Nope, you can't have it. However, you can have a cool model of one in 1/24 scale for way less than 1/24 of the price.

Originally planned as a concept car, Porsche decided that a production 918 would demonstrate their advancements in hybrid technology. The power in the 918 comes from three different power systems working together. Sitting behind the driver is the main engine, a 4.6 liter V-8. Next, there is a 156 bhp electric motor mounted over the rear axle. Finally, there is a 129 bhp electric motor for additional power to drive the front wheels. The weight of these power units is distributed 43/57% front to rear.
