To achieve performance gains not unlike that gorgeoous Porsche 918, one must look beyond the status quo.
So, how costly are performance gains? Let's compare the 918 with a Boxster S, which runs about eight percent the cost of the 918.
Time to 60 mph? 2.4 seconds vs. 4.2
Lateral cornering? 1.12 G vs 1.01 G
So, it is perfectly fine to spend another $850,000 for saving fewer than two seconds and providing a slim 0.1 G added grip? Both offer Porsche's fine tuning and offer mid-engine handling dynamics.
And you consider the Xs series a "status quo" design? Really?
