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!

I see a project. A very expensive one, but it’s still a project for me. Some rich car guy with a pleasure for building should take care of it.

any chance that engine would fit in my honda
Moog intensifies
I want the rims, because of reasons
“Oh hay sir, sorry for your loss. How much for dem rims yo?”
I’m sure there are some Chinese companies out there willing to pay more than it’s worth.
I’d still buy it
Fix it up and put in the drivetrain from a carrera gt so you have the only manual 918 spyder
Now there’s an idea!
It’ll get fixed. It’s impossible to leave a 918 alone ;)
