2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package
estimated at $2,400,000 – $2,700,000.
Following in the footsteps of the illustrious Carrera GT, the well-received Porsche 918 design study was first shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with the highly exclusive model entering production for 2013. These three supercar titans developed the latest hybrid-electric hypercars to compete directly with Ferrari and McLaren. All three were unveiled in the same calendar for 2013 and all three pushed performance limits while also being as efficient and sustainable as possible. Each offering a unique perspective on the optimal solution for harvesting and deploying hybrid energy, the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1 all helped lay the framework for hybrid-electric performance vehicles, variations of which are offered in their latest creations.
Even if the performance facts and figures produced by the 918 Spyder are well known by now they still continue to astonish. The mid-engine, 4.6-liter dry-sump V8 combined two electric motors driving the front and rear wheels produce a total of 887 horsepower at 8,500 rpm. In seventh gear, this produces 944 lb.-ft. of torque. That power is transmitted through a lightning-fast dual-clutch, seven-speed PDK transmission.
Capable of traveling 12 miles using purely electric power, E-Power mode would still provide a top speed of 93 mph and nimble acceleration with zero to 60 mph in seven seconds, while a full-blown Hot Lap setting would utilize maximum power from both electric motors and the V8 with 60 mph achieved in less than three seconds. The 918 Hybrid also boasts a top-speed of 211 mph and a fuel economy and emissions that are unmatched in the industry. It has a range of 420 mile. Porsche’s 918 Spyder was taken to the Nurburgring Nordschleife where it quickly set a new lap time of 6 minutes and 57 seconds. Figures less known are the thousands of hours spent testing the 24 918 Spyder test mules and prototypes across the world with 120 hours needed to assemble the 918, with a typical 911 of the period taking approximately two days.
Finished in Meteor Grey Metallic, this 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder was delivered new through Porsche of Newport Beach. The sport bucket seats are finished in Onyx black leather with Silver piping, which is a great complement to the Meteor Grey exterior. Porsche has always made sure that performance and luxury are synonymous, and the 918 Spyder follows suit. Interior features include a Burmester High End Surround Sound Audio system, two-zone climate control, HomeLink, Navigation and even a Cup Holder! It is also equipped with the weight-saving Weissach package, which, for an additional $84,000, reduced the weight of the car by 90 pounds. This was achieved through lighter brakes and titanium bolts. Furthermore, through Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur program (CXX) it received Meteor Grey paint applied to its window frame and roof panels along with Silver painted brake calipers and remains the only Weissach Package 918 Spyder finished in Meteor Grey delivered to the United States with a Black and Silver leather interior.

The Weissach Package version is a technical marvel, capable of both 30 mph electric urban travel and 200 mph Hot Lap track performances. It also represents a car with superior ergonomics, outstanding everyday practicality, as well as Porsche’s expected level of build quality. For these reasons, and myriad others, no serious Porsche or contemporary hypercar collection should be without one.01001010To view more thrilling cars on offer at Broad Arrows Monterey Jet Center Auction, please visit their website at broadarrowauctions.com and be sure to register to bid for this exciting event.01001010
