Description
Unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 918 Spyder was designed as Porsche’s new flagship after the Carrera GT: a limited edition of 918 units, developed in Weissach and assembled in Porsche’s Zuffenhausen plant. Much unlike its predecessor, the 918 features a hybrid system that alternates internal combustion and electric power, with 599hp made by a 4. 6L gasoline V8 engine, and 282 additional hp credited to two electric motors. A reinforced carbon-fibre monocoque chassis provides strength and lightness, and a special Weissach Package improved aerodynamics and further increased weight savings.
The result? A technological tour de force capable of hitting 0-to-60 in 2. 2 seconds, beating all previous Nürburgring records, and accelerating to a top speed of 345kmph. Its performance credentials earned the 918 a space in the three-spot ‘Holy Trinity of Hypercars’ and the pantheon of dream machines of the 2010’s, along with the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1.
This particular 918 was delivered new to Behbehani Motors of Kuwait, and taken to Austria four years later. A fully original car, it has been driven sparingly and kept in a second residence for most of its life. Under our ownership, the car was imported to our Dubai headquarters and serviced in August of 2024. Accessories include manuals, records, tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, charger, and indoor car cover.
Asking price: $1, 510, 000 USD
