The Porsche 918 hybrid supercar looks just as mean in candid photos as it does in official publicity shots.
We've seen the upcoming Porsche 918 supercar in a variety of paint schemes, and read about it in action everywhere from California's Death Valley to the Nürburgring.
Now, a reader-submitted photo shows a 918, wearing black and white livery and a large “21,” prowling the streets of San Francisco. Autoweek's Mark Vaughn had a hands-on experience with a pair of cars, numbered 12 and 18, undergoing some desert testing, so this likely represents a third car on the roads of the Southwest.
Appearances are a bit deceiving here—what may appear at first glance to be carbon fiber weave on the rear of the car is actually a reflection from the photographer's dashboard. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of composites on the roughly 3,748 pound car. Don't miss our report on all the (speculative) details.
Thanks to Autoweek reader Carson Chen, whose son Jason snapped the photo, for the submission.
