One to Buy: Uniquely configured 1500 mile 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package
In terms of aesthetic appeal, there was one clear winner from the famous McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 918 battle of the 2010s and that car was the product from Stuttgart.
With its perfect proportions, lithe elegance and unmistakable Porsche DNA, the 918 has stood the test of time far better than its rivals and manages to look sensational in practically any colour combination.
For those buyers who wanted the ultimate 918, Porsche offered the expensive Weissach Package, a high performance weight-saving option that variously included titanium chassis hardware, an extended rear diffuser, additional carbonfibre body parts, magnesium alloy BBS wheels, ceramic wheel bearings, a mix of Alcantara and fire-resistant fabric trim, six-point harnesses and fabric door-release pull straps.
The air conditioning and audio systems along with the glovebox were automaticaly deleted but could be re-instated at no cost.
Also offered as part of the Weissach Package were a variety of colour schemes inspired by the cars campaigned under the Porsche Salzburg banner during the 1970 season, a fine example of which is currently being represented with RM Sotheby’s Private Sales department out of Coral Gables, Florida.
Chassis 821 is reputedly one of just five 918 Spyders with the Weissach Package configured in white as opposed to the more common red. Of this quintet, just two came with black and Acid Green accents and number 821 is the sole example to feature matching Acid Green interior trim.
Supplied via Porsche of Roslyn in Upstate New York, the car was further equipped with the front-axle lift system and had the climate control, audio system and glovebox re-instated. Other options included HomeLink, a cup holder, carbonfibre-look floormats with Acid Green piping, seatbelts with Acid Green striping and a centre console storage compartment.
The immaculate two-owner car is currently showing around 1500 miles.
