Supercars are not usually known for their fuel efficiency, but Porsche has debuted a hybrid vehicle that is less thirsty at a petrol pump than a Honda Prius.
Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor show, the Porsche 918 Spyder can reach 60mph in less than 2.8 seconds,proving its racing credentials.
But the sleek sports car can also do 72 miles per gallon and is almost a third more fuel efficient than the Honda's popular hybrid model - the Prius.
Porsche's £537,000 offering is a carbon fibre supercar with a plug-in hybrid drive, making it the latest racing car manufacturer to try and make more eco-friendly cars sexy.
The company said: 'Never before has a supercar designed for everyday use offered such an impressive dynamic performance combined with the fuel consumption of a compact car.'
