This racecar version of the company's 918 Spyder Concept debuted at the Detroit auto show in January. It will have 767 horsepower that comes from a 6.2-liter V8 partnered with two electric motors. An extra eight second bump in power comes from a flywheel accumulator that sits where a passenger seat would be.
