However, the car is being taken out of the museum and being entered into this years Gaisberg hillclimb race. Porsche attempted to make the car as light as possible and got the weight of the car down to 847 pounds, in part due to removing the windshield. The Porsche concept car is powered by a 3.8L flat-six engine that can generate 388 horsepower and bring the Bergspyder to 60mph in approximately four seconds.
