Is the Frog King the 911 or the 918?
2 Answers
The Frog King is the 918. Introduction to the Porsche 918: The Porsche 918 Spyder is a production model. The Porsche 918 was limited to 918 units worldwide, but by the end of 2014, all units had been reserved. It is said that there were over 100 units allocated to China, but fewer than 20 are actually on the road in the country. Porsche 918 Powertrain: The 918 is equipped with a 4.6L V8 engine producing 608 PS and two electric motors each producing 286 PS, forming a hybrid powertrain. The hybrid system can deliver a maximum combined output of 887 horsepower.
After playing with Porsche for so many years, the 'Frog King' that car enthusiasts talk about definitely refers to the 911 GT2 RS, this performance monster. It inherits the classic frog-eye design of the 911, but with a 700-horsepower twin-turbo engine and track-level tuning, it stands at the pinnacle. Every time it sets lap records at the Nürburgring, we excitedly call it the Frog King. Although the 918 Spyder is also a legendary car, it's a hybrid flagship with electric motors. In our circle, the Frog King always refers to that track machine, the 911 that can burn rubber and take off. At last week's owners' gathering, someone was showing off their newly acquired limited edition GT2 RS, and everyone's eyes were glued to that exaggerated carbon fiber rear wing.
