Porsche 918 Spyder joins the police in Dubai!

About the fact that the police in Dubai can boast the most luxurious in the world car garage was known for a long time. Only here you can see cars like Bugatti Veyron, BMW M6, Aston Martin One-77, Bentley Continental GT, Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador or Ferrari FF, wearing police "clothes". What surprised us further is that the city authorities have not stopped there and recently added a collection piece, a Porsche 918 Spyder.

Besides that the German hypercar is one of the best in the world, found in direct competition only with Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1, and it is extremely rare. In total, only 918 units were produced and one of them arrived in Dubai. The main attraction is the car's powertrain, which combines the services of a turbo-aspirated V8 with two electric motors, for a total of 887 horsepower and 1,280 Nm of torque!

All power is transmitted to the drive wheels via the seven-gear PDK and a four-wheel drive, enabling acceleration from zero to the first hundred in just 2.6 seconds and a top speed is reached amounts to 345 kmph. To reach the speed of 200 kmph just 7.3 seconds is needed, and if you feel firsthand what it 300kmph means will have to hold on to the steering wheel and the pedal to the floor and have to wait 20.9 seconds.

Not to mention that you have a fuel consumption of just 3.1 liters per 100 km, when run through the city relatively calm, or even zero, range from 16 to 31 kilometers! This is what a hypercar mean! Not only the performance but also efficiency!
