Porsche 918 Spyder Night Drive: Flames and Fireworks Follow
A highway blast at night is wonderful. It’s even better when you’re in a Porsche 918.
Escapism is an important thing in the world these days. Work lends us to being blue-faced zombies in front of a computer screen, impatiently waiting for the minutes to click by until the appropriate number signalling “freedom” arrives. But there’s none of that in a car.
A car allows freedom of time. Would you like to slow down and take your time? Would you like the rush of acceleration and speed? You can mold your experience like dough into exactly what you want. And driving at night is even better since there’s no one else out on the road.
Night drives have only one purpose; bringing you back to center. Bringing control back to the operator. And, you’re alone. No one else is there to bother you. It’s just you and the car. No one to take orders from, no one to hurry you along or slow you down. And be it from the speakers, or from a howling engine you can have any music choice you desire.
For a change, things start feeling positive. Worry simply washes away with each passing road marker. It can waken up the senses, too. Sight, sound, smell, touch. For altering one’s state of mind, it’s the most natural way possible.
JP Performance takes us on a journey a night, and describes what a Porsche 918 Spyder does to relieve one’s mind of burdensome thoughts. But a night drive goes beyond horsepower as it’s described that some of the sensations are the same regardless if the car has 100 or 800 horsepower. Because the car “helps you feel alive, to relax and to find solutions to problems.”
Night drives have no set destination or purpose at all, really. And that’s the point.
