Broad Arrow Auctions, part of the esteemed Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is gearing up for an impressive display of over 155 collectible cars at its upcoming Monterey Auction at the Monterey Jet Center on August 14-15. Among the highlights is the highly exclusive 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package, poised to capture attention with an estimated value ranging between $2,400,000 and $2,700,000.
The Legacy of High-Performance Hybrids
The Porsche 918 Spyder, following the legacy of the Carrera GT, was first introduced as a design study at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show before entering production in 2013. It emerged as a formidable contender in the hybrid-electric hypercar arena, vying against Ferrari’s LaFerrari and McLaren’s P1. These three automotive giants set new benchmarks for performance, efficiency, and sustainability, introducing their groundbreaking models within the same calendar year.
An Engineering Marvel
Despite its well-publicized specs, the Porsche 918 Spyder continues to impress car enthusiasts worldwide. The vehicle boasts a mid-engine 4.6-liter dry sump V8 paired with two electric motors, one driving each axle, delivering an astounding 887 hp at 8,500 rpm and 944 lb-ft of torque. The power is seamlessly transmitted through a dual-clutch, seven-speed PDK transmission.
In E-Power mode, the 918 can travel 12 miles purely on electric power, achieving a top speed of 93 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in seven seconds. In full-power Hot Lap mode, this supercar can hit 60 mph in under three seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph. The hybrid mode offers an impressive range of 420 miles, while a record-setting lap time of 6 minutes 57 seconds was clocked at Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Distinctive Design and Features
This 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, finished in Meteor Grey Metallic and delivered through Porsche of Newport Beach, is a testament to Porsche’s meticulous craftsmanship. The interior features Onyx Black leather sport bucket seats with Silver piping, perfectly complementing the exterior. It is also outfitted with luxury amenities like the Burmester High-End Surround Sound Audio System, two-zone climate control, HomeLink System, Navigation, and even a cup holder.
However, the highlight remains the optional Weissach Package, which, for an additional $84,000, reduces the car’s weight by 90 pounds through titanium bolts, lighter brakes, and carbon fiber aerodynamic enhancements, bringing the total weight down to 3,616 pounds.
Notably, this particular 918 Spyder is the only Weissach Package variant in the United States sporting a Meteor Grey finish, accented with Silver painted brake calipers, and equipped with a Black and Silver leather interior.
Meticulously Maintained
With under 2,200 miles on its odometer, the car is in immaculate cosmetic and mechanical condition. It includes a full PPF treatment and retains its car cover, center lock tool, and charging equipment, alongside a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Recently, it underwent a major service in May 2024 at an authorized Porsche dealer, costing over $15,000. This included fresh oil, new spark plugs, new ignition coils, air filters, and a brake and clutch fluid flush. Additionally, the vehicle was equipped with new Michelin tires and received an air conditioning system service for optimal performance.
Conclusion
Renowned as one of the "holy trinity" of hypercars, the Porsche 918 Spyder offers unmatched versatility and performance. Especially in its Weissach Package trim, it epitomizes technical brilliance, capable of efficient urban travel and exhilarating track performance. This makes it an essential addition to any serious Porsche or contemporary hypercar collection.
