Porsche prices its 918 new-age hybrid supercar

If you've got $845,000 sitting around and you'd like a more investment than stocks or bonds, consider the new Porsche 918. Porsche announced pricing yesterday in confirming that it will build the little bugger.

What you'll get for the dough is a true new-age supercar, a hybrid packed with a high-revving 500-plus horsepower V-8 engine assisted by two electric motors. The motors alone have a total of about 218 horsepower.

Yet because it's a hybrid, it's supposed to get better gas mileage than your average supercar.
