Porsche's most technologically advanced road car
By 2010, Porsche was already regarded as a sports car powerhouse.
Having developed and released not one but two world-renowned
supercars, the Porsche 959 and Carrera GT, rumors began circling
the automotive landscape that the German company was planning their
next endeavor. Those rumors were confirmed upon the release of the
concept car at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March of 2010: The
Porsche 918 Spyder. Porsche would take three years before unveiling
the production model at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September,
but Porsche's introduction was clear: their hyper car was here.
Boasting a marvel of technological wizardry, the 918 Spyder was
Porsche's answer to the ever evolving and skyrocketing performance
standards. The 918 Spyder used a 4.6-liter V8 engine based on the
same underpinnings as the RS Spyder LeMans Prototype, but the real
news was the supplemental drivetrain. Porsche added two large
electric motors to boost performance: one to drive the front axle
and another to supplement the engine. This all-wheel drive hybrid
drivetrain yielded an astounding 875 horsepower and 944lb/ft of
torque, good for a 0-60 time of 2.4 seconds. With Porsche producing
only 918 examples of this hybrid hyper car, it is an exceedingly
rare car that is packed with an immense amount of performance
wrapped in an easy-to-use package. Dubbed one of the "holy trinity"
supercars alongside the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari, the
Porsche 918 will down in history as one of the greatest performance
vehicles ever engineered. Only 294 Porsche 918s were built for the
U.S. market.
Now for those that thought "my 918 Spyder needs a little bit more
performance", there was a special box that you could tick while
spec'ing your Porsche: The Weissach package. An $84,000 option over
the base 918, only approximately 230 cars of the total 918
production were optioned with this package. This included a host of
weight saving upgrades, including bespoke lightweight magnesium
wheels engineered by BBS, carbon fiber parts such as the windscreen
frame, mirrors, and roof, an extended aerodynamic diffuser, and
special carbon fiber interior trim. All said and done, this allowed
Porsche to shave 100lbs out of the vehicle, enhancing both its
performance and visual appeal at the same time.
The 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder here was ordered new and delivered to
Porsche of Chattanooga in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Optioned in
paint-to-sample Oryx White Pearl paint with Authentic Onyx Black
leather interior, Front Axle Lift system and other options, the
total MSRP was $1,009,275 in 2015. The first owner of the 918 would
have the car regularly serviced at the same dealership for their
entire tenure, driving the Porsche only 277 miles by the end of
2017.
In 2018 the 918 Spyder found a new home in San Diego, California
where it was also regularly serviced at Hoehn Porsche Carlsbad. In
March of 2019 a major 4-year service was performed to the tune of
approximately $15,000, and during this time Porsche factory recall
services were performed. Serviced regularly with an oil change in
August of 2020.
The next caretaker, a Northern California resident and known
collector of exquisite automobiles, ensured that the Porsche 918
was maintained correctly. In January 2023 the 918 underwent a major
service to the tune of $18,209 which included all fluids changed,
coils, plugs, and an inspection. This also included 4 brand new
Michelin PS Cup 2 tires, which alone were $3,847. At this time the
odometer had barely reached 1,035 miles.
The Porsche 918 includes its original window sticker, books, tools,
car cover, and vehicle charger. Now ready for its next owner to
drive on special occasions, take on spirited drives, or even
downtown regularly, the Porsche 918 Spyder stands out that it is an
infinitely usable hypercar that makes even the mundane trips want
you to grab the keys.
Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector vehicle for sale is put
through and extensive and diligent process called the "Canepa
Difference". This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical
inspection where all systems are checked and serviced as necessary.
They also receive award-winning concours-level detail, including a
thorough cleaning of each and every surface that ensures that every
car is a sight to behold.
