This car shown here is an absolutely unbelievable 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder finished in a one-of-a-kind exterior paint-to-sample ‘Viola Metallic’ over a beautiful onyx black leather interior. This example of the Porsche 918 Spyder is chassis number WPOCA2A15FS800061 and is one of just 937 total examples built for the entire planet including prototypes. The 918 is powered by a 4.6 L (4,593 cc) Porsche MR6 V8 paired with two electric motors that make for a combined 875hp. The model was first ever shown as a concept at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, followed by a production version being shown in 2013 at Frankfurt after being designed by German automobile designer, Michael Mauer, who currently serves as Chief Designer at Porsche. The 918 was constructed upon a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer monocoque chassis and only 918 total units were produced for the world, with only approximately 300 total delivered to the United States. The Porsche 918 is reported to have a top speed of around 220mph with a 0-60mph in under 2.5 seconds! This allowed the Porsche 918 to become the first street-legal production car to break the 7-minute barrier in the world. Notably, in September of 2013, a Porsche 918 fitted with the optional ‘Weissach Package’ managed to set a Nürburgring lap time of 6:57! This example is equipped with some great options including the carbon fiber interior package, the cup holder option, and much more! Simply put, although this car is nearing almost 10 years old, the 918 Spyder is one of the most significant modern Porsches ever created. It’s considered part of the “holy trinity” of hypercars which includes the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1, and this one being shown here in a one-of-a-kind color is certainly something quite special to see!
