We've even taken a ride in one. What we haven't had, up until now at least, is all of these details about the Porsche 918 Spyder in one convenient press blast. And we also now know that it will be a introduced as a 2015 model.

Along with the official specifications, Porsche has seen fit to release a new batch of images showing its production body from all angles. We also get a good look at the car's interior bits and pieces, including a few shots showing how people fit underneath the removable hardtop panel.

We like the sound of that, and we think it's cool that the 918 can travel up to 18 miles on electricity alone, with performance statistics that aren't far off what we had from sports cars from a few short decades ago.
