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 uses 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.
This Porsche 918 Spyder was optioned quite plentifully, equating to $146,900 total. The 918 was painted in the legendary Liquid Silver Metallic, which costs $63,000 alone. The 918’s interior is presented with Mocha Brown leather and silver piping, along with the carbon fiber interior package highlights the attention to detail with that equating to $33,500. The car boasts some intricate options selected such as magnesium motorsport wheels and lightweight bucket racing seats. Just selecting these 2 options, drops about 40 pounds total from the car. Also ordered with the must-have $10,500 Front axle lift system option, this allows the 918 to travel on regular roads with ease.
This 918 has a history of 2 previous owners. The car was acquired by a notable collector in the San Francisco Bay Area about a year after its production. The car found its way to the golden state in February of 2016 and has been serviced under the hands of Stevens Creek Porsche, having every aspect of the vehicle checked to perfection. This 918 has lived under the California sun ever since 2016.
Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive award-winning concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface.
