Edo Competition's CEO Edo Karabegovic took delivery of his first Porsche 918 Spyder last month, with two other cars set to follow.

Porsche is making only 918 units of their latest flagship model and three of them have been purchased by Edo Competition's CEO Edo Karabegovic. Work on the first car will probably start in the near future and we are curious to find out what could Edo possibly do to a plug-in hybrid supercar that has a combined output of 887 PS (661 kW) and more than 800 lb-ft (590 lb-ft).

Chances are they will focus on the V8 4.6-litre engine which in stock configuration generates 608 PS (447 kW) and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft). A more extensive use of carbon fiber is also possible and perhaps some updates to the electric motors and the 6.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

The Porsche Carrera GT successor is insanely fast in standard guise, conquering the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in as little as 2.8 seconds while 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) takes a mere 7.9 seconds. Porsche says the 0-186 mph (0-300 km/h) sprint is accomplished in 23 seconds en route to a top speed of more than 211 mph (340 km/h).

It's hard to believe these figures will be improved, but let's not forget Edo Competition developed the world's only street-legal Ferrari FXX so they know their way around a supercar.
