You Can Pick Up A Porsche 918 Spyder Really Cheap If You Don't Mind It Being Smashed To Pieces
If you can’t quite afford a 918 but will do anything to own one, how about this fine example as a solution? It’s up for auction with a current bid of $100,000, but as you can see, it’s not exactly in the best state. That’s because the car - number 830 of 918 produced - is up for auction from salvage company Copart, and looks to have been involved in a hefty smash.
It’s missing much of the front end, the rear clamshell is in bits, and you don’t have to be an engineer to know the right rear wheel should not look like that. The “primary damage” is amusingly listed as “all over”, and there’s also “secondary damage” listed for the “undercarriage”.
It doesn’t look like the original owner of the car had much use out of it before binning it either, because the car is displaying just 92 miles on the clock….
We’ll be keeping a close eye on the auction to see what the car goes for when bidding closes on 23 March. Post your predictions in the comments!

So whos up for 918 engine swap?
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
what car should it be put in?
Fix the rear and front, put in a new drivetrain/engine, fix the rest, done.
I’m an optimist.
Probably would cost you about the same price as a new one haha
Why buy a Cayman GT4 when you can have a parts of a 918!
Cayman 918 swap?
Pftt… Take it to Los Santos Customs and get it in mint condition for 530$.
This comment made my day better 😂😂😂

Nah man, pay ‘n’ spray, 100$ for a new engine.
Dying of laughter, single greatest comment of all time!
Meh, it’ll buff out.

92 miles and already crashed it? Wow
Dude I saw a lot of cars with like a few km’s and already smashed into pieces that you couldnt even recognize what car it was before. It amazes me how someone can be so crazy to do that. (Not all of them have to be at fault tho, can be another as*hole that maybe rammed them etc.) But you get the point, right?
Some people just don’t expect the power. If you do crash a super/hypercar, i’d imagine it’d be as soon as you get it
Sorriest piece of *ss
A little polish and it’ll be ready to drive again
I can hear Mr. Beans wallet opening.
