2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach
Key Points: Liquid Metal Silver Exterior Paint (€48,000 From New), Weissach Package, Garnet Red Leather Interior, Carbon Fibre & Garnet Red '918 Spyder' Luggage Box
The Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the most significant hybrid hypercars of the modern era, with production limited to just 918 examples worldwide. Developed as the successor to the Carrera GT, it combines a naturally aspirated 4.6-litre V8 derived from Porsche’s RS Spyder Le Mans Prototype with two electric motors to produce a combined 875hp and 944lb-ft of torque. This 2015 example has covered just 25 miles from new and is equipped with the highly desirable Weissach Package, making it an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire an essentially delivery-mileage 918 Spyder.
The V8 produces 599hp and 398lb-ft of torque, while a 154hp electric motor drives the rear wheels alongside the engine and a further 127hp motor drives the front axle, creating an advanced all-wheel-drive system. Power is delivered through a seven-speed PDK transmission, allowing the 918 Spyder to accelerate from 0-62mph in just 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 214mph. Independent testing has demonstrated even greater performance, with Car and Driver recording 0-60mph in just 2.2 seconds.
The 918 Spyder can also operate entirely under electric power, with E-Drive providing a claimed range of up to 12 miles and a top speed of 93mph. Hybrid and Race modes combine the petrol engine and electric motors for increased performance, while Race mode’s Hot Lap function provides additional electrical power for maximum acceleration. The plug-in hybrid system therefore gives the 918 an unusual combination of everyday usability and extraordinary performance.
This example is equipped with the lightweight Weissach Package, which reduces weight through extensive use of carbon fibre across the roof panels, windscreen surround, wing mirrors, rear spoiler and rear bumper flicks. Further weight reduction comes from the optional 20/21-inch 918 Spyder Magnesium Wheels, finished in Silver and paired with Acid Green brake calipers. Finished in Liquid Metal Silver, the exterior is complemented by a carbon-fibre front splitter and matching carbon-fibre detailing throughout.
Inside, the cabin is finished in distinctive Garnet Red leather with Silver contrast stitching, complemented by the carbon-fibre and Garnet Red 918 Spyder luggage box. The specification is further enhanced by a Burmester High End Surround Sound System, passenger seat height adjustment, two-zone automatic air conditioning, Homelink garage door opener, preparation for Speed Charging and a factory fire extinguisher.
With just 25 miles from new, the highly desirable Weissach Package, Magnesium Wheels and an exceptional factory specification, this 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of just 918 examples of Porsche’s landmark hybrid hypercar.
