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 don’t think it’ll be anywhere near easy to fix this thing… 4 wheel steering.. Energy recovery through breaking.. Loads of other gizmos and sensors and stuff.. I doubt such a complex machine can be easily fixed..
That poor beetle says Jeremy Clarkson…
Well it is not a green one thank goodness.
Salvage the engine. Sleeper anyone?
Don’t worry, it’ll buff out…
“Get it for really cheap!”
M8, $100,000 is not cheap in my reality

At least then you can say that you got a 918 spyder in your garage
A sick part of me feels like I could make a lot of this work in something else, and that it will bring much more than $100,000 in 20 years or so.
Salomondrin are you hearing thus?
I’d be pretty pissed off if it was chassis #69 or #420 or #666
