The 2011 Porsche 918 RSR Concept is a mid-engined hybrid race car that was unveiled at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The car is based on the 918 Spyder Concept, which was first introduced in 2010. The 918 RSR is designed to be a race-ready version of the production 918 Spyder, and features a range of race-derived technology and components.

The 918 RSR is powered by a 563-horsepower V8 engine, which is supplemented by two electric motors, one located on each axle. This hybrid powertrain provides a combined output of 767 horsepower, enabling the car to accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds.

The car features a number of racing-spec components, such as a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a 6-speed sequential gearbox, adjustable suspension, and a range of aerodynamic aids. The car also has a range of lightweight components, such as a carbon fiber interior and exterior, and carbon-fiber wheels.
