Following the release of this teaser video it appears certain the world debut Porsche has planned for the Detroit Auto Show is a racing version of the 918 Spyder, which was first shown in hybrid form at Geneva last year.
It could well be that this 918 racecar employs hybrid technology, too, given the 911 Hybrid almost won the 2010 Nürburgring 24 hour race at its first attempt.
Check out the video teaser after the break.

I think you will find that this is the racing version of the 918 coupe and not Spyder…
Well, yes, but both derive from the Spyder.
Yeah good point haha.
It’s going to look bloody good, I reckon. Can’t wait to see it. 8)
Hybrid technology is now legal for the Le Mans Series, American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hour Race. I wonder if this will be on the grid for the great race in June?
I’d say so Dave. It will be awesome to see this thing in action at the Nürburgring 24 hour.
