HERE’S WHY THE PORSCHE 918 SPYDER IS WORTH $1.7 MILLION

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the Porsche 918 Spyder, exploring why this hybrid supercar commands a $1.7 million price tag. He highlights its extreme performance, with a combined 887 horsepower from its V8 engine and electric motors, achieving 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. DeMuro praises its incredible acceleration, precise handling, and unique features like the "Joker" button, "Hot Lap" mode, and the top-exit exhaust. However, he notes drawbacks such as a stiff ride, limited cargo space, a touchscreen that washes out in sunlight, and the manual removal of the roof panels. The optional Weissach Package, costing $85,000, is detailed for its weight reduction and aerodynamic enhancements. Despite its impracticality and high cost, DeMuro concludes the 918 Spyder is the best all-around sports car/supercar he has ever driven, awarding it the highest Doug Score to date.
