Porsche unveiling the latest version of its 918 hybrid supercar at the opening day of the North American Auto Show in Detroit today. 

The  new Porsche 918 RSR is based on concept cars 911 GT3 R and 918 Spyder.

In total the RSR has 756bhp; 555bhp comes from its mid-mounted V8 petrol engine (taken from Porsche’s RS Spyder LMP2 car) driven through a six-speed paddle-shift transmission to the rear wheels, and a further 201bhp is generated by two electric motors on the front wheels. A torque vectoring function incorporated within the electric motors provide variable torque distribution to the front axle, said to increase agility and improve steering feel.

Porsche has given the green light for 918 production but not confirmed when we can expect to see the final car. Despite this the company is already reported to have taken deposits for the range topping supercar!

If you can’t wait that long – why not join the 100 Supercar Club to drive the Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Convertible Tiptronic ‘S’, the Porsche 911 (997) Carrera 4S Coupe (GT3 aerokit) and the Porsche RS60 Spyder Tiptronic ‘S’ NOW.

Introducing the Mercedes SLS… the newest edition to The 100 Supercar Fleet. A cockpit, an engine, 2 wings – just don’t try this with our model.

Book your driving experience in the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG today

The 100 Supercar Club is proud to be bringing you the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. And just in case you were wondering why we were getting soooo excited about it – here’s the skinny to get you a little hot under the collar too…

This astonishing £157,000 coupe is a remarkable piece of engineering. The gull-wing doors, as previously seen on the 1955 300SL, make this stunning design an instantly recognisable icon.

To enter the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG’s cabin you first press a button on the stylish key fob. This causes a small handle to emerge from the door. Give this a quick tug and the gull-wing elegantly lifts skywards to reveal the majestic interior. Once inside it can be a bit of a stretch to re-close the door, but hey, all of a sudden traditional doors feel rather tame.

Now, after a few hours playing with the gull-wings you may actually fancy a drive. Fire-up the 6.2-litre V8 engine (badged 6.3). This monstrous beast produces 571hp and propels its door loving owner to 62mph in only 3.8 seconds, and on to a mighty 197mph. This teeth shattering performance inevitably uses a fair chunk of fuel, so expect to average roughly 21mpg. Eco warriors best look elsewhere then.

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has excellent handling. It feels supremely composed at high speed and the pin sharp steering, and massive brakes, inspire tremendous confidence. Being a hard-core coupé the ride can be a little harsh, but this is a small price to pay for driving one of the most iconic vehicles of its generation.

Standard specification includes the extremely funky gull-wings (did we mention those?), plus duel-clutch transmission with paddle shifts, heated memory sports seats, cruise control, and rain sensing wipers. Options include ceramic brakes and a carbon fibre bonnet and mirror casings. So, go on – visit our 100 Supercar Club Fleet and make the first step to driving this baby today…
