On this very special 100th episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the Porsche 918 Spyder in Spain. Boasting an electric motor on the front axle and a parallel hybrid setup for the rear, this hypercar produces a combined 874 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque and aims to set a new precedent for performance and efficiency. To this end, it has dizzying amount of motorsports-derived technology — its carbon fiber passenger tub, engine, and chassis are derived from the concepts that created the RS Spyder ALMS racecar — but its European test cycle fuel economy results are comparable to the Toyota Yaris Hybrid’s. How well does this immensely complex hypercar work? This week, as Ignition celebrates it’s 100th episodes, we find out!

Ignition appears every Monday on the Motor Trend youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/motortrend
