918 Spyder No. 590

Seven years on from unveiling the breathtaking Carrera GT at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, Porsche again selected Geneva to debut its latest concept born from an endurance race car-this time powered by the 3.4-liter V8 that propelled the American Le Mans Series RS Spyder. Dubbed the 918 Spyder, the mid-engine concept hypercar was one of three Porsche models at Geneva to showcase Porsche's all-new hybrid drive technology, a milestone in the firm's stated pursuit of achieving "genuine electro-mobility" in the 21st century. Like the 959 and Carrera GT before it, Porsche continued its admirable track record of putting its concepts into production when it was announced in the summer of 2010 that series development of the 918 Spyder was underway.

The production 918 Spyder's four-cam V8 had grown in displacement during development from 3.4 to 4.6 liters-its 608 horsepower surpassing the total output of the Carrera GT even before accounting for the 127 and 154 additional horsepower generated by the front and rear electric motors respectively. That amounted to 132 horsepower per liter without the use of a turbo or supercharger, generating consistent torque and near-immediate acceleration all the way up to the 9,150-rpm rev limit thanks to the deployment of the electric motors at low revs. Working in conjunction with Porsche's race-bred seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, the 918 Spyder delivered a staggering 887 combined horsepower and 944 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. Performance was, as expected, unprecedented, with Porsche announcing before deliveries had even begun that the 918 Spyder was the first road-legal vehicle to break the sub-seven-minute barrier around the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a time of 6 minutes 57 seconds. During their testing, Car and Driver achieved zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds (far quicker than Porsche's conservative 2.5-second factory figure)-the quickest-accelerating production car ever tested by the magazine. Even in an era of otherworldly performance demonstrated by rivals like the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder proved to be the fastest accelerating of the three hypercar contenders.

This 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder is one of just 918 examples worldwide, and one of only 300 delivered to U.S. VIP Porsche customers, made even more exclusive by its Paint to Sample non-metallic Grey Black exterior finish, first seen on the 997-generation 3.8-liter GT3 RS, with just a handful of 918 owners worldwide opting for this rare, historic hue. Even rarer is its Color to Sample white leather upholstery with grey piping and deletion of the 918's characteristic Acid Green accents. Thus configured, 918 limitation number 590 strikes a decidedly exclusive pose among the sea of expected silver and grey metallic paint finishes. Its original window sticker reveals that the 918 included numerous factory-fitted options such as Front Axle Lift System, Carbon Fiber Interior Package, Side Mirrors in Carbon Fiber, Carbon Floor Mats with Silver Piping, Seat Belts with Accent Stripe in Silver, and a separate line item recording an additional $7,000 in Custom Tailoring, often referred to as CXX.

First sold through Niello Porsche (now Porsche Rocklin), its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report reveals light use under its first and second Central California owners with servicing at Niello Porsche until 2023 with approximately 4,000 miles. Under its most recent private owner, this PTS 918 Spyder has been diligently looked after by Porsche San Luis Obispo and at the time of cataloging shows just 5,635 miles. Owing to its careful stewardship by just three enthusiast owners from new, this Porsche is accompanied by delivery items that include its window sticker, books, Porsche Universal Charger, fitted indoor car cover, two keys, and more. Furthermore, a previous owner made the wise decision to equip this 918 with Porsche factory lightweight magnesium wheels, reducing the unsprung weight by 33 pounds while subtly enhancing the car's already striking presence.

Distinguished by its coveted and unique full "to Sample" specification, low mileage, documented ownership, desirable factory equipment, and tasteful Porsche factory upgrades, 918 No. 590 is among the most distinctive examples of one of the defining supercars of the 21st century. As one of just 300 examples delivered new to U.S. VIP Porsche customers, it offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a highly individual interpretation of Porsche's landmark hybrid flagship.
