Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid supercar

Porsche has decided to make a limited number of the new hybrid supercar it's been developing, called the 918 Spyder.

The car is powered by both a petrol engine and electric motor and will be based on a prototype unveiled at this year's Geneva car show.

It can go from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds, has a top speed of 198mph and will be able to travel up to 16 miles on battery power alone.

The 918 Spyder will effectively replace the company's Carrera GT.

At more than £400,000 it'll also be the company's most expensive car ever.

The board of Porsche only agreed to put the 918 Spyder into production if more than 1,000 people signed declarations of interest to buy one.

The most dangerous of these emissions NOx, Hydrocarbons and Particulates. But together, we'll call them "Nasties". Watch this animation to see the Nasties in action.
