The engine is derived directly from the power unit of the successful RS Spyder, which explains why it can deliver engine speeds of up to 9,150 rpm. The main source of propulsion is the 4.6-litre, eight cylinder engine that produces 608 hp (447 kW) of power. Also, many parts of the super sports car come from manufacturers who have a proven record as suppliers for motorsport vehicles. A great deal of insight gained from the development of Porsche race cars for the 24 hours race in Le Mans in 2014 was thus integrated into the 918 Spyder – and vice versa.

It has been designed, developed and produced by Porsche engineers who build race cars, in cooperation with series production specialists. The 918 Spyder reveals its close links to motorsport in a variety of ways. The 918 Spyder embodies the essence of the Porsche idea: it combines pedigree motor racing technology with excellent everyday utility, and maximum performance with minimum consumption. All in all, the 911 Carrera S again sets the benchmark for driving dynamics of all-round sports cars, further increasing the spread between everyday comfort and circuit performance. And the top speed has also increased further: the 911 Carrera S now reaches a mind-blowing 308 km/h. This means that it is the first 911 in the Carrera family to undercut the magic four second mark. The new 911 also boasts impressive performance: The 911 Carrera S with Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono Package performs its showcase discipline – the sprint from zero to 100 km/h – in just 3.9 seconds. The greater power of the 911 Carrera S results from turbochargers with modified compressors, a specific exhaust system and tuned engine management. 420 hp (309 kW) of power at the rear are waiting to be unleashed and converted into sporty propulsion. Thanks to more than four decades of experience with turbo engines – in both motor racing and production sports cars – the new engines in the 911 Carrera S offer improved performance, even more emotional driving pleasure and higher efficiency. With innovative turbo flat engines, an advanced chassis with an even greater spread between performance and comfort it is exceedingly well-equipped for this. In 2015, the new generation arrived to further extend this lead. The 911 has been the world's best-selling sports car for decades. The Porsche Pack Volume 1 introduces some of the most iconic Porsche cars ever created, coupled with some of the most recent models of the Porsche 2016 line-up, with the aim to offer a perfect mix between road cars, hypercars, as well as modern and historic GT and racing models. After more than 12 years away from the hardcore sim-racing world, the Porsche Brand finally arrives to Assetto Corsa and Kunos Simulazioni is working in a close and official partnership with the prestigious car manufacturer to release a series of three DLC packages that will include the most iconic, authentic, awesome cars created by Porsche during its glorious history, with the aim to provide the most accurate Porsche virtual experience ever.
