It looks as though some juicy details on the already-coveted Porsche 918 Spyder have released.  Rather than performance or power ratings, we’re getting some insight into the mammoth price tag that this beautiful hybrid supercar will carry.  It’s been reported that the supercar will come in just under $1,000,000, to start that is.  One might like to think that “hypercars” didn’t always carry a seven figure price tag, but when it comes down to it, this high-priced Porsche isn’t too far out of the norm.  On the other hand, though, the Carrera GT fetched a base price of about $448k, which is roughly $530k at today’s rate, nearly half of the 918 Spyder’s price tag.  But, this is just the beginning.  Take a look at the pricey list of options & packages:

• Weisach Package: ~$11,415
• Foil Coating: $15,480
• Magnesium Wheels: $38,700
• 6-Point Harness: $3,870
• Liquid Metal Paint: $61,918

This list is not exhaustive, but all are avialble in conjunction with eachother.  This means that just this list alone would add about $140k, bringing the total to about $1.1 or $1.2 million.
