In 18 months' time, this tatty prototype will have transformed into a supercar capable of 202mph and 94mpg. Greg Kable hitches a ride in the 918 Spyder.

The squat two-seater, with two extravagant top-exiting tailpipes pointing skywards out of the engine bay at the rear, could be mistaken for a shoestring-budget backyard project gone wrong rather than a multi-million-pound precursor to what will possibly be the world's most advanced supercar when it is launched on 18 September next year.
