Hello Speedhunters. We've just uploaded to the desktop area a great concept render of a Porsche 918 hardtop by Jack Darton. Fingers crossed they'll enter the 2011 FIA GT1 World Championship with something that looks like this bad boy!
Enjoy!
sweet
thanks for the feature Rod!
yup...I can die happy now
This is gorgeous.
SPEEDHUNTERS HAS NOTHING SIGNIFICANT TO POST AND YOU GIVE US THIS CRAP.....THANKS
Jack
Great car again from scratch again with the brush strokes create did. Especially wonderful colors and reflections.

HI I TOOK A LOTUS ELISE AND STRETCHED IT AND CALLED IT A PORCH PLZ POST ON YOUR WEBSITE
Guess what Sketch, no one is forcing you to read the blog and you aren't entitled to jack squat from the writers. Don't like it then leave, posting stupid ass comments in all caps won't result in anything positive.
I'm guessing that you just recently started reading the blog, personally I'm a happy subscriber since the beginnings. Keep up the good work boys.
ANON, get your head of our your ass and google Porsche 918.
Anon, if that looks like a stretched elise to you then you deserve to look like the retard you appear to be by typing in block capitals. Nice render!
Front end, Lotus Elise/ Exige. Rear end, Porsche Carrera GT.
Ive read the blog since august 08...im just used to better content than this crap
Anon/Sketch/Alex: The two of you are idiots.
The Porsche 918 Spyder concept is the most gorgeous piece of machine that Porsche has designed in quite some time. It's also a hybrid. This render is, from what i can tell, just a promo shot of the actual car with different wheels, paint, a top, and a different spoiler. That is it.
Here's a site with a good shot of the side: autos.aol.com/.../porsche-918-geneva
Actually, here's the exact picture they would have used:

Just flip it and photoshop it a bit. That being said, I'd love to see a Porsche 918 hardtop in action. 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, a top speed of 198, and up to 72 mpg would be more than enough to trounce everything in its class.
only the midsection of this car is lotus-esque(lotusey????)
front and rear are definately porsche.
All haters STFU!!!!!
It was indeed the picture you lined to that I used as the stock :) No hard feelings to the haters, this was a 1 and a half hour render. Expect something a bit special soon :)
Jon Sibal's version came first....this is merely based off of his, with the BBS.
I wish I had found out about the 918 from Speedhunters. I unfortunately had to find it through meandering about Volksrods, something which I don't come here for.
Awesome car, the world needs more Porsches like this, not the Cayenne or Panamera
Just googled for Jon's 918, and it would appear they have similar wheels.. but this being a race version of the 918, don't most if not all Race Porsches sit on BBS rims? Plus, this guy has done a lot more to his version than Jon did so stop sniping left right and centre. It's a nice render to show off what the hardtop race version could potentially look like, christ give him a break. You'd think he pissed on your grandma at Christmas. @Jack: nice quick, smooth, flawless render. Would also love to see this thing entered into the 2011 FIA GT1 World Championship.
Upload a widescreen size. The desktop size you uploaded is all wrong.
hey guys that sketch guy sounds like he got nothing better to do then *** an moan bout a car coz he aint getting laid. but anyway that car does look like a lotus quite abit though. but dont get me wrong its still a very nice car.
Thats BEAST!!
Porsche is getting great press for this car and says they want to build it and it's likely to happen in 5 years.
If Stefan Ratel's new FIA GT1 rules which look down upon supercars such as the Ford GT and Maserati MC12 don't get in the way, there's no reason Porsche shouldn't continue it's motorsport tradition with this.
The Carrara GT's engine came from the early 2000's LMP1 project so it was a shame the car was never raced.
Scoobydoo, the rims are not only similar, but *exactly* the same. they're from the 911 GT3 R Hyrbid
My first thought was that someone finally decided to build a decent looking Daytona Prototype. I guess I was wrong....
id say gt40 if anything
i know that is the 918 concept....ii just think the post is stupid, its just a crappy what if rendering....the livery makes it look ghetto, id get more creative with the amazing speedhunters logo
I like the car a lot. I hope it gets built.
Go Jack Go! Awesome work man! Excellent to see you featured here!
I spy some GT3 RSR wheels...
looks ready - just imagine if they built this - do know what the proposed spec sheets going to say??
This is Mint..... Id give anything to know what program you use...
