That's the appeal of cars like this, of course. On track, Motor Authority describes the ease by which the 918 can keep up with a professionally-driven Porsche 911 Turbo-yet on the road, it's ' like owning a Chevy Volt that can fit an 887-horsepower hyper-hybrid in the trunk'. The typical 0-60 mph benchmark, used for decades to express a car's accelerative performance, can be covered in just 2.5 seconds, while a top speed of 214 mph is possible.ДЄll that is as impressive as it sounds.

All-told, this is a 875-horsepower car, with 944 pounds-feet of torque at its peak. Or indeed, cars with far, far less performance. It'll never do that, unless it's only ever driven around the city with the big V-8 kicking in every so often.Д«ut the electric and hybrid element means it's a great deal less consumptive than cars of equivalent performance. Porsche quotes an official fuel consumption figure of 78 mpg in Europe. It may be designed for the track, but it works in the city too. There's even a plug, giving the car's battery enough juice for a 12-19 mile all-electric range. But it also uses a pair of electric motors, one at the front and another at the rear, to assist the engine and occasionally, to drive the car alone. The 959 of the 1980s had a twin-turbocharged flat-six. The Carrera GT featured an F1-inspired V-10 engine.

The latter had a bit more miles on the clock, and it also required a bit more work when polishing was concerned, but the finished result also ended up looking as if it were brand new.ДЄt the end of a long day, where Larry had to call a friend for help to be sure that he has enough time to cover everything he wanted, he received a special gift from the dealership's head honcho.Д«oth German open-tops now look as good as they did when they left the factory, and it can all before with a mixture of elbow grease, supplies that can be bought online, experience, and specialized tools.Previous Porsche hypercars have used different methods to extract their maximum performance. Once the 918 Spyder was ready, Larry moved on to the Carrera GT that was stored next to it. Second, Larry will also refresh the paint with the help of his trusty set of supplies, and he walks us through every step of the process. While these may not matter that much on a more affordable vehicle, they have no place on a multi-million-dollar vehicle. Larry describes those as being from 'hard water,' and they can be seen in the form of streaks and spots of dried water on the paint. The issue with this example comes in the form of the minerals that are on the body, which came from the garage it was stored in. The founder and CEO of AMMO NYC are not at his first collaboration with Porsche Greenwich, and his touch was required for a vehicle that is estimated to be worth around two million dollars.ДЇirst, Larry had to power wash the body, clean the wheels, and then detail it to perfection. With that in mind, the dealership that has been tasked with handling the sale for their high-profile client has called Larry Kosilla for a helping hand. With the car market at the highest it has been in years, this low mileage example has the potential to change hands for a serious amount. One of these open-top hypercars can now be sold for several times its original purchase price, and it seems that the owner figured out they were not planning to use it anytime soon. Before storing it away, the owner probably washed it, but did not bother removing the water from the body.ДЇast-forward to 2022, and the owner decides to part ways with the 918 Spyder.

It is unclear why just 162 miles were driven and not something 'round,' like 150, but it happened. 261 km), and then stored it in a heated garage. From that moment, the same person only drove the 918 Spyder for 162 miles (ca.
