# Super Speedy Sustainable Supercars (UPDATE) The Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid is Fuel Efficient By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-05-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-918-spyder-hybrid References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/porsche-hybrid-918-spyder-770-hp/22551/pictures) The [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-sports-car) 918 Spyder hybrid can speed around the track while looking like a million bucks, but it beats out other [super fast sports cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-sadairs-spear) in one key area: its minimal fuel consumption. This new and improved Eco-conscious roadster takes the fuel economy of its predecessor model, which was released in 2010, and packs a whole lot of extra horsepower beneath the hood. Capable of reaching speeds up to 320 km/h with a 0-100 km/h time of less than three seconds, this automobile is a dream come true for an environmentalist with a need-for-speed. The turbo-charged car features a [fully carbon fiber reinforced plastic body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports), for increased speed due to its lightweight properties, and a teeny-tiny petrol engine that only emits 70 g/km of carbon dioxide into the air, which is impressive. Smart cars take note: being good to the planet does not have to mean a compromise on style or speed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-conscious Supercars:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-performance supercars with minimal fuel consumption and low emissions. - **Lightweight Supercar Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and other lightweight materials for increased speed and fuel efficiency. - **Sustainable Sports Cars:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create sports cars that combine eco-friendly technology with high performance capabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the automotive industry by producing eco-conscious and high-performance supercars. - **Materials Science:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate lightweight materials for the production of high-performance and sustainable sports cars. - **Green Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and advance green technologies for the creation of sustainable sports cars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Electric Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-sports-car.md) - [Premium Sporty Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-taycan.md) - [Sporty Fully-Electric Vehicle Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abarth-500e.md) - [Hybrid Convertible Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-spider.md) - [Luxury Long-Range Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-cayenne-electric.md) - [Family-Friendly Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-mission-s-concept.md) - [Audacious Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-supercars.md) - [Lightweight High-Performance Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar.md) - [Carbon-Loaded Luxury Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports.md)
