The extremely limited Porsche 918 Spyder is basically a mid-engine plug-in hybrid supercar powered by a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8 engine generating 599 hp, paired with two electric motors delivering an additional 282 hp, that produces a combined output 875 hp and 944 lb⋅ft of torque. Its 6.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is good for an all-electric range of 12-miles. What if the automaker built an all-electric successor? Meet the Porsche 907 Spyder by automotive designer Chacko Abraham.

Porsche’s 918 Spyder boasted a 7-speed gearbox coupled to Porsche’s own PDK double-clutch system, and that could be a possibility for the 907. It was able to achieve a 0-62 mph time of 2.6 seconds, 0-124 mph) in 7.2 seconds, and 0-186 mph in 19.9 seconds, while topping out at 214 mph. If the 907 Spyder is all-electric, we expect it to smash all of those times, except for the top speed due to battery-based electric cars having a fairly limited amount of stored energy, even if they can produce very high power outputs.
