For my money, the Porsche 918 is one of the most exciting and important cars to be released in the last 25 years. Since it was introduced as a concept in Geneva->ke228 in 2010, I have gobbled up every morsel of information and video of it in motion. The latest entry into my vault of Porsche->ke1 knowledge is this video from the Nurburgring->ke999.

What we get to see is a track-side video showing a 918 wearing the Martini livery chasing after a new 991-generation->ke1920 911 Turbo->ke177. It mates a 4.6-liter V-8 to a pair of electric motors for a combined power output of nearly 900 horsepower. The 991 Turbo is the latest in a long line of forced-induction 911s. the 2014 911 Turbo uses a 3.8-liter, flat-six engine that produces 560 horsepower, enough to launch the 911 to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.1 seconds.

As this is a standard test session there are very few cars on track, and aside from one slow moving BMW->ke178, the video is pure Porsche.
