The 918 Spyder is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful supercars of the century, but it’s also one of the most important. It was unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show as a concept that combines a distinctly Porsche-styled design with an electrified powertrain. which was the kind of thing you didn’t see in a high-end sports car at the time. The model will go into production three years later and will help pave the way for some of the most exciting cars on the market today, as well as the upcoming 911 hybrid. Porsche built 918 examples between 2013 and 2015, all of which were announced in the past. Production was over.
This 918 Spyder dates from the last year of production and is finished in a precious layer of rhodium-plated silver metallic with glossy black mirrors, a removable roof and a rear spoiler. The interior of the two-seater, meanwhile, is upholstered in black leather and exposed carbon fiber trim. The design still holds ten years later, but this model also comes with the weight-saving Weissach aero kit that adds more carbon fiber elements, an elongated rear diffuser, and magnesium BBS wheels.
The 918 Spyder might be one of the best-looking supercars of recent times, but it owes its reputation to its hybrid powertrain. The vehicle’s high-tech configuration is made up of a naturally aspirated 4. 6-liter V8 and a front and rear-mounted electric motor. Engines that combine to produce 877 horsepower and 944 lb-ft of torque distributed between each wheel through a seven-speed PDK transmission. Dual-clutch transmission. At the time of its launch, Porsche said the 918 Spyder can also go from 0 to 62 mph in 2. 6 seconds and reach a sensible top speed of 214 mph. This example has no trouble hitting any of the marks as it only has 43 miles on the clock.
This sealed Sotheby’s auction will run through Friday, August 5. The auction space expects the supercar to sell for between $1. 5 million and $2 million. That’s more than double the vehicle’s original price, but since this example of the mythical styling is intact. , is realistic.
