This Supercar Driver episode captures an unforgettable sunrise run through the Italian Alps in the Porsche 918 Spyder, one of the legendary “Holy Trinity” hypercars. Tackling the twisting Petit-Saint-Bernard Pass, the driver showcases the 918’s remarkable balance, four-wheel-drive grip, and explosive hybrid power, blending a screaming naturally aspirated V8 with electric motors for relentless acceleration out of every hairpin.
Despite being the heaviest of the Trinity trio, the 918 feels incredibly nimble, offering razor-sharp steering feedback and immense confidence on tight mountain roads. The video also reflects on Porsche’s pioneering hybrid technology, noting how advanced and relevant the car still feels more than a decade after production began.
From silent electric cruising to full-throttle V8 drama, the drive highlights why the 918 Spyder remains a masterpiece of modern engineering — a hypercar that fuses performance, innovation, and pure driving emotion in one of the world’s greatest automotive playgrounds.
