Description
Of the 918 examples produced, only a small portion were built to the highly sought-after and uber collectible ‘Weissach’ spec, an expensive option at the time and the variant which has considerably outperformed the standard version.
The Weissach Package is a performance-oriented options pack, named after the area in Germany where Porsche’s Research & Development centre is based. It was the first street-legal production car to break the 7-minute barrier at the Nürburgring, by setting a lap time of 6:57, reducing the previous record by an enormous 14 seconds.
Porsche class the Weissach cars as having “a more performance-oriented finish", shaving an impressive 41kg off the weight compared to a standard 918 Spyder, by using titanium chassis bolts, lighter brakes and plenty of carbon fibre. It can hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, reach 120 mph in just 7.2 seconds and on to an incredible top speed of 214 mph. Improved aerodynamics of the Weissach Package also play a contributing factor in the car's enhanced performance, provided by its front splitter, rear spoiler, roof panels and windscreen surround, all of which are constructed from visible carbon fibre.
This is an even rarer UK supplied example that also boasts low mileage from new. In addition to the Weissach Package, this car further benefits from a fantastic array of factory options including: front end lifting system, sports seat for driver, sports seat for passenger, Alcantara inserts on the driver and passenger seats, passenger seat height adjustment, additional seat cushion, seat belts in black, Alcantara trimmed steering wheel, visible carbon-fibre interior trim, glare reducing interior trim, air-conditioning, Burmester® high-end surround system, DAB digital radio, universal multimedia interface, glove box, carbon floor mats with Acid Green piping, fire extinguisher, right-hand drive headlamps, anti-chip protective film, CDC battery charging (rapid charging), VTS (Vehicle Tracking System) & Porsche Car Connect, garage door opener (Homelink), and a cup holder. The first owner also requested to fit the standard-style 918 Spyder alloys rather than the wheels included in the Weissach Pack.
Presented in 'as new' condition throughout and complete with its original books including its ever-important service/warranty supplement, wallet, spare key, towing eye, tyre pump, warning triangle, first aid kit, battery conditioner, car cover and a dedicated history file.
