Only 918 will be made. $845,000. Now where did I put my check-book?

Does that price include special edition Turbo S? or is that a separate $170K? I'll take two, then( *NM*

I believe the turbo is extra, an "option" so to speak *NM*

Since it is only a Turbo S Coupe or Cab...I'm not interested

If I can't order one of each to go with the 918 Spyder, why bother! grinning smiley

Mark, I'll bet Porsche would accomodate you. Get out your checkbook, ~$ 1.2M. *NM*

Let's see, for ~$1.2M I could get a Turbo S, a new McLaren, a 458 Italia...
MarkinMD - Tuesday, 22 March, 2011, at 4:44:37 pm

...a Gallardo Valentino Balboni (used since they are already sold out), a Cayenne Turbo and still have just enough left over to build a garage to hold all of them! smiling smiley

can you have a turbo on an electric car?

I bet the price of the destination charges is the reason for the cost increase.

But I also bet that at that money they are still losing -- this is an engineering exercise like the veyron.

Yes, buy a 918 with a trailer hitch and load your 997 Twin Turbo on your Trailex.

Oh, sure, it's bi-xenon footwell lighting, but really.

Of course! Do you know how much electricity those toes need?

Yes, but remember you get a tax credit

Since it is a hybrid, you probably get a $5,000 - $7,000 Federal Tax Credit when you buy one - I am sure that Porsche factored that into the pricing exercise.
