So we already know a lot about the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid now. The car that just received the green light for production, has made its driving debut at Monterey and has also enjoyed a grand coverage at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Now if several sources are to be believed, Spyder fans have another great news to celebrate. When Porsche bring its 918 Spyder to the market in 2014, expect quite a few upgrades in its style and performance.

According to what Autocar reports, insiders at the Pebble Beach event reveal that the company plans to increase both the power and displacement of the petrol engine for the production model of 918 Spyder. The car will thus be more powerful than its 500 bhp V8 petrol engine and electric motors that produce a combined output of 712 bhp.

They also revealed that 918 was being developed wearing Boxster and Cayman bodies and that it would be offered in both hard-top and soft-top forms for production. Amongst the other modifications will be more aluminium on the front-end and side exhausts pushed back at the rear. The concept’s 22-inch alloys are unlikely to make to the production model.

Also the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid will get a touch-screen infotainment system and side mirrors will be replaced by the cameras, with the images appearing on the instrument cluster.

Porsche has now decided to build a total 1200 units of its 918 Spyder that the Stuttgart automaker will price more than £400,000.
