Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0CA2A18FS800264
Following in the footsteps of the illustrious Carrera GT, the
well-received Porsche 918 design study was first shown at the 2010
Geneva Motor Show with the highly exclusive model entering
production for 2013. Competing directly with Ferrari and McLaren,
these three titans of the supercar market developed their latest
generation of hybrid-electric hypercars, prime for the 21st
century. Unveiled all within the same calendar year for 2013, all
three not only pushed the limits of performance but also did so as
efficiently and sustainably as possible. Each offering a unique
perspective on the optimal solution for harvesting and deploying
hybrid energy, the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1 all helped lay the
framework for hybrid-electric performance vehicles, variations of
which are offered in their latest creations.
Even if the performance facts and figures produced by the 918
Spyder are well known by now they still continue to astonish. A
mid-engine 4.6-liter, dry sump V8 combined with two electric
motors, one each driving front and rear wheels produces a total
output of 887 hp at 8,500 rpm and 944 lb-ft of torque in seventh
gear. That power is transmitted through a lightning-fast
dual-clutch, seven-speed PDK transmission.
Capable of traveling 12 miles using purely electric power, E-Power
mode would still provide a top speed of 93 mph and nimble
acceleration with zero to 60 mph in seven seconds, while a
full-blown Hot Lap setting would utilize maximum power from both
electric motors and the V8 with 60 mph achieved in less than three
seconds. Along with a top speed of 211 mph, the 918 would also
record sector-leading overall fuel consumption and emissions with
an impressive range of 420 miles achieved in Hybrid mode.
Naturally, Porsche took the 918 Spyder to the N�rburgring
Nordschleife, quickly setting a new lap record of 6 minutes 57
seconds. Figures less known are the thousands of hours spent
testing the 24 918 Spyder test mules and prototypes across the
world with 120 hours needed to assemble the 918, with a typical 911
of the period taking approximately two days.
Finished in Meteor Grey Metallic, this 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder was
delivered new through Porsche of Newport Beach. Equipped with sport
bucket seats trimmed in Onyx Black leather with Silver piping
providing a perfect complement to the contrast to the Meteor Grey
exterior. Porsche have always ensured that high performance and
luxury go hand-in-hand and the 918 Spyder is no different. The
well-equipped interior features Burmester High-End Surround Sound
Audio System, two zone climate control, HomeLink System,
Navigation, and even a cup holder! Perhaps, most importantly, it
features the optional weight-saving Weissach Package that, for
$84,000 additional, helped shed 90 pounds through the use of
titanium bolts, lighter brakes, and carbon fiber aerodynamic
enhancements reducing the total weight to 3,616 pounds.
Furthermore, through Porsche's Exclusive Manufaktur program (CXX)
it received Meteor Grey paint applied to its window frame and roof
panels along with Silver painted brake calipers and remains the
only Weissach Package 918 Spyder finished in Meteor Grey delivered
to the United States with a Black and Silver leather interior.
Offered with under 2,200 miles at the time of cataloging, this 918
Spyder is offered in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition.
Perfectly bridging the gap between usability and the ultimate
modern Porsche collectible, it features a full PPF treatment and
retains its car cover, center lock tool, and charging equipment in
addition to a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Most recently,
this 918 Spyder was the recipient of a Major Service in May of 2024
an authorized Porsche dealer at a cost of over $15,000. Fresh oil,
new spark plugs, new ignition coils, air filters, a brake and
clutch fluid flush were all part of the service. At the same time
the 918 Spyder received fresh Michelins and the air conditioning
system received an inspection and service for optimum
performance.
As one of the original "holy trinity" hypercars, the
highly-collectible 918 Spyder arguably delivered the most
accomplished and versatile of the ultra-exclusive trio. It is a
technical tour de force-especially in Weissach Package trim-equally
as capable of 30 mph all-electric urban travel as it was of 200
mile per hour Hot Lap track performance, it also represented a car
of superior ergonomics, remarkable everyday practicality, and
Porsche's expected build quality. For these reasons, and myriad
others, no serious Porsche or contemporary hypercar collection
should be without one.
Please note that Broad Arrow has an ownership interest in this lot
in whole or in part.
