STUTTGART’S HYBRID HYPERCAR
Over the course of its seven-plus-decade history, Porsche has consistently crafted automobiles at the cutting edge of performance and technology. From the rally-winning all-wheel-drive 959 of the mid-1980s to the Le Mans-inspired Carrera GT of the new millennium, Stuttgart has built uncompromising performance models that showcase innovation and technological mastery. In 2013 the automaker unveiled another benchmark of engineering superiority with the Porsche 918 Spyder, which introduced state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid-electric technology to elevate performance while increasing efficiency.
The 918 Spyder’s performance is nothing short of extraordinary, as the sprint from standstill to 60 mph takes less than 2.5 seconds, making the Porsche quicker than both of its contemporary hybrid hypercar rivals, the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1. Enthusiasts in pursuit of even more extreme performance could choose the weight-saving Weissach Package, which included magnesium alloy center-locking wheels, titanium chassis hardware, ceramic wheel bearings, and fabric door-release pull straps instead of conventional handles.
Apropos of the model’s name, Porsche built just 918 examples of the 918 Spyder, and it remains one of the most thrilling and momentous hypercars of its generation. It is an instant classic Stuttgart thoroughbred that figures to only further appreciate as the Porsche niche evolves into the next generation.
Currently displaying just 170 miles on the odometer, this sensational, barely driven 918 “Weissach” Spyder benefits from a very short ownership chain, resulting in a breathtaking example of the Stuttgart hypercar. For Porsche collectors, supercar enthusiasts, and pursuers of the best low-mileage hypercar examples in the market, serial number 067 could hardly offer a better opportunity. Accompanied by owner’s manuals, charger, and six-point racing harnesses, this outstanding, minimally used 918 Spyder capably reminds us why the Weissach competition legend is so special.
