I am sure this car will sound insane at high revs, much like the cgt did.

What about for a $850,000 super car?

Hybrids are for women.

That sounds soooo much better than the 918. Stop trolling.

According to some sites and sources, these pics and video of this have been shot 9 months ago.. so this may not really be the final version of the 918 ..

Judging by the size of those exhaust outlets.... it will carry a throaty sound with it.

I am sure Porsche will have a team of engineers working on the exhaust note for a car that will cost almost 1 mil.
