Decade-old Porsche supercar that’s never been driven after it was bought and left in garage goes on sale for £1.6m
A PORSCHE supercar that has never been driven after it was bought by its owner and stored in a garage is now going up for sale and could fetch £1.6million.
The unregistered 2015 Porsche 918 ‘Weissach’ Spyder was delivered to Hong Kong nearly a decade ago but the owner never took it for a spin.
It’s odometer says it has only driven some 43 miles (70 kilometres).
The car is thought to be the lowest-mileage unregistered 918 Spyder in existence.
It is only one of four 918 Spyders originally delivered to the former British colony and has the serial number 513.
The eye-catching supercar is decked out in a black leather interior with acid green touches and Rhodium Silver Metallic paintwork.
It is also fitted with a Burmester sound system.
Porsche designed the 918 Spyder as a replacement to the Carrera GT.
Under the bonnet is a mid-mounted 608 brake-horsepower, 4.6-litre four-cam V8 engine.
It also features dry-sump lubrication, direct injection, variable camshaft timing (Variocam), no external ancillary drive belts, and an Inconel exhaust system that exits between the cylinder banks at the top of the engine.
If that wasn’t enough, the conventional powertrain is further assisted by two electric motors, producing 279 brake horsepower, making for a total hybrid output of 887 brake horsepower.
With the power being sent to all four wheels it can do 0-100 km/h in just over two seconds and a top speed of 198mph.
A regenerative braking system works to further capture energy and feed it back to the car’s battery pack.
The ‘Weissach’ package aimed to reduce as much weight as possible from the standard 918 Spyder by fitting magnesium alloy centre-lock wheels, fire-resistant fabric, and six-point harnesses.
These efforts saved an additional 45kg from the car’s curb weight.
The car was serviced in July 2022 and its high-volltage battery was replaced in January this year.
A fault-finding diagnostic test was conducted by Porsche Centre Hong Kong in February 2024, which found no faults with the car itself, or its battery.
The sealed auction, which has no reserve price, starts today and ends on April 5.
Meanwhile, Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer is left speechless after his damaged Porsche was perfectly restored, saying it looked like it “rolled off the production line”.
