On this week’s Ignition, Carlos Lago has a second go at Porsche’s 918 hypercar. The goal: to run the 918 through the full gauntlet of MT’s instrumented testing, including 0-60, quarter mile, braking, figure 8, and a blistering real-time hot lap around Big Willow race track with pro driver Randy Pobst. Carlos also gets a rare chance to experience the 918’s ancestor, the Porsche 959.
