Actually the 918 came out in 2013, during the 991 era. But yes, the concept and the start of sales begin before 991 was launched. I remember very well, time flies, time flies…
@@fazebugatti988 Wdym sort of? The 997 turbo s was also a car ppl could buy, the AMG One paint job with the AMG and this 918 livery is exactly similar.
the point of it was to let the owner have some fun in a special edition car while they wait for the real deal. but the black series is sold separately. only thing they get to “have fun” in is a vinyl wrap.
@@fazebugatti988 Special edition? It's just a 997 turbo s with a 918 livery just like the AMG One edition Black Series! This 918 livery turbo s only went to those who had a 918 allocation just like the AMG One edition black series went to those who have an AMG One allocation!
@@Bug4life Yes, l very much know they have different variants. I found it humorous the example was a coupe but had 918 Spyder version badging on it is all.
"Not everybody ordering one, there weren't all that many." The Smoking Tire's Matt Farrah said that this option had a 100% take rate on 918 order forms.
So its a bog standard turbo S... with green highlights. If I'd ordered a 918, why the f would I want this? Should've been called the 911 Turbo S _takingthepiss edition_ lol
918 is so expensive that they give you a 911 as keychain.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂

Makes you realise how well the 918 has aged
Crazy, I mean the 997 did also not age badly but the 918 looks kinda brand new😮
It’s really weird to think that the 918 came out during the 997 generation

918 seduces me every time it shows up in a video. It ages like Jennifer Aniston.
I'm like Jennifer Aniston 😉. Ready to be seduced?
That's a really great marketing tool! Keeping owners of awaiting 918s with an extra bonus!
AMG copied that marketing scheme.
sort of, the black series was already a car that ppl could buy, the paint job represents the 911 here

What a killer 911 to own if you can get your hands on one.
Especially if paired with the matching 918 😮
@@HomeWithDrew it makes me wonder if a matching pair has ever been sold.
@@anthoneyurtz5689yeah almost certainly, or they keep the rarer 911 918 edition and sell the 918 only
@@anthoneyurtz5689well obviously yes
Such a set would fit right in at the Shmee museum. Ned more Porsche along with the 914
Sort of weird they call it a spyder version but its a coupe. Also, the porn bots are getting out of hand
Ikr
You mean the 911? It was available both as coupé and cabriolet and the Spyder in the name was a reference to the 918 Spyder.
@Bug4life oh no I meant the bots
@@-MaxAnthony I was referring to the OP's comment.

It’s neat, can’t really determine how desirable it is. I will say the 2019 Speedster is cool.
You the man Shmee you definitely know your cars Great video
It looks really really rare
Porsche could genuinely have came out with the 918 today and it would look brand new - it’s a car that really doesn’t show its age at all
Spending money while you wait impatiently for a dream car. #whenyouknowuhavetoomuch$$$
Wait, this is younger then 918 ?!
No this is for customers who pre ordered the 918
Off-Topic, I like your outfit, well dressed 👍
Is anyone going to admit shmee150 car knowledge?
Masterpiece
I drove one of these 😊
was it exactly the same as the regular version 😭
Back then you bought a 918 and could buy a matching 911 now you’d have to buy a fleet of Porsches to get the chance to buy a 918
Well isn’t just generous of Porsche..
So it's just a 911 with 918 stickers n details
Limited edition for anything. BS ! 🤮 too many limited editions kill the limited edition concept….
Surprised Porsche didn’t force customers to buy the 911 before getting the Spyder.
This was back in the day before Porsche became money hungry and actual enthusiasts owned their cars
How come no 918 owner show of this model?
Because you still have to buy it
Brilliant marketing catering to the vanity of the ultra rich.
Cant wait to see the succesor of the 918
Porsche should try a V12 this time
They never made one

Man shorts like this pose a bad look to potential viewers, tell everyone how many units where made and what the most recent one sold for.
997
Castrato😊
Would be better in manual
Aha so AMG copied Porsche.
That acid green accent is so tacky I don't care how special Porsche says it is
At the end of the day it's a 911. Zzzzz
I really don't get Porka's . They all look the bloody same, they dont make a particularly nice noise and the options list makes takes the piss.
only porsche is capable of convincing idiots to buy the same ass car that had been recycled for decades!
You've never driven a 911, have you? You're probably just a clout chaser who liked their own comment. so I won't engage.
@@EvanNyameyeTachie-Menson i dont need to drive a 911 to know how oversaturated the 911 platform is.
same same but different, yet still the same.
@@PwnageJ the opinion is yours if you don't like repetition that's totally ok.
shmee i saw you yesterday your sh66_me ford gt was sick
Top turbo s
Then you wonder why corvette sells so many cars
No BS German gimmicks
