Equipment
4593/887hp hybrid, luggage, silver calipers, exposed weave-matched carbon fiber detailing, Burmester audio, Yachting Blue seatbelts, extended charging cable. Comes with Porsche 918 Spyder Circle race suit/helmet/driving shoes, Porsche Design 918 Spyder Circle Chronotimer, and Martini graphic set.
Condition
Delivered new via Porsche of North Houston with a reported $96,000 in bespoke tailoring from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and with a reported original MSRP of $1,028,200. Showing 12 miles. It wears the same paint-to-sample Grand Prix White and Yachting Blue interior colors as the GT2 RS out of the same collection, but it’s still a unique car in its combination of colors and options, and appropriately called the “crown jewel” of this collection. If this isn’t the world’s most desirable 918 Spyder, it’s close.
Market commentary
At this price, it’s certainly the world’s most expensive 918, and quadrupling in price over the course of less than a decade is one hell of an ROI. This price is double what other clean low-mile 918s typically sell for. The general trend at this auction was bidders paying up for rare/unique options, but this was an extreme example that is linked to this high profile and well-publicised auction and is unlikely to be replicated the next time this car comes up for sale whether at auction or in a private transaction.
