Porsche's advanced hypercar for the 21st century
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 887 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. Complete with a carbon fiber
chassis and bodywork, carbon ceramic brakes, advanced 7-speed PDK,
and an all-electric range of 12 miles, the 918 was dubbed one of
the "holy trinity" supercars alongside the McLaren P1 and the
Ferrari LaFerrari, and it will go down in history as one of the
greatest performance vehicles ever engineered. Only 297 Porsche
918s were built for the U.S. market. Even by today's standards, the
Porsche 918's performance is still considered a benchmark and is
exceptionally competitive to even cars built 12 years later.
This 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder was produced on July 29th, 2014.
Spec'd in Rhodium Silver Metallic with a Garnet Red leather
interior with silver piping, it was optioned with the desirable
$10,500 Front Axle Lift System, $7,500 Carbon Fiber Interior
package, along with the glare-reducing interior package. With an
original MSRP of $865,975 and one of just 300 examples built for
the U.S. market, it is an exceptionally rare car to see on the
road. Delivered new to Audi and Porsche of Southampton in New York,
this car remained with its owner for almost 11 consecutive years.
Serviced regularly at the same dealership from new, the car was
maintained exceptionally well. Upon arriving at Canepa, it was put
through the "Canepa Difference" process to ensure that all
mechanical systems and surfaces were in excellent condition. With
just 357 miles on the odometer, the car is currently in new
condition. Included with the car is its original window sticker,
books, two keys, and its wall charger. Still a technological
powerhouse after 12 years and part of the "Hypercar Trinity", the
Porsche 918 Spyder is a hypercar that continues to outshine and
defy expectations.
