The Porsche 918 Spyder is all new. It sits at the very top of Porsche's lineup and will only be sold in very small numbers to exclusive clientele. The car is in many ways, a follow up to the ultra-exclusive Carrera GT, sold between 2004 and 2007.
SelectBrowse ListingsA limited-production hypercar developed by Porsche with a new, modern approach towards high-performance, the 210-mile per hour 918 Spyder was among the most vibrant examples of a hybrid vehicle when first produced in late 2013. A combination of a direct-injected 4.6-liter V-8 gasoline engine as well as two electric motors (one at the front axle and the other at the rear axle), the Porsche 918 Spyder operated as a plug-in hybrid. With power stored in a lithium-ion battery pack, the supercar could be driven up to 19 miles on electricity alone. When the gasoline engine and electric motors functioned in unison, the supercar boasted a combined system output of 887 horsepower. Through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission combined with an all-wheel drive system, the 918 Spyder can rush to a top speed of 214 miles per hour when equipped with the Weissach Package consisting mainly of a 90-pound weight reduction. Heavily bred from Porsche's motorsport expertise, the plug-hybrid 918 Porsche Spyder incorporated the extensive carbon fiber construction, active aerodynamics and high-performance braking. Ending production on June 19th of 2015, only 918 examples of the Porsche 918 Spyder were delivered with 294 vehicles sold to customers in the United States.
