Porsche 918 Spyder prototype becomes fastest Porsche ever around Nürburgring

Porsche has another year to tease the 918 Spyder, its 770-hp, $845,000 return to the world of ultimate supercars, and today it put a key figure into the wind: 7 minutes, 14 seconds. That's how long it took a prototype Spyder to lap Germany's Nürburgring -- making it the fastest Porsche ever to loop the track, and among the top five vehicles to ever tackle the course. Being the fastest hybrid as well is just gravy.
