Oh, that looks like a very limited edition GT2RS track only model that will be so limited, even the 918 guys will have to fight each other...that's what 75 or so units would start anyways.
Yup. A good example of that was the Turbo S Exclusive Series (500 copies worldwide). Not all 918 owners got one depending on when your 918 was ordered was the pecking order.

If you're referring to the 2012 - 2013 Edition 918 Spyder Turbo S, Porsche made 47 of them. That's it.
I suspect we'll see 2 - 1) Speedster for the MT + open top experience; and 2) Mid-engined GT3 RS, making 540hp, 9200 redline, PFC brakes.
This sounds realistic.

Turbo S exclusive is only tempting because or rear seats. Rear seats in a NA GT car would mean so much to me. I know people crap on the idea but having both my boys with me would mean a lot.

Sign me up for that!

Good morning. I think you are correct as I do not know the exact number for that Turbo S Spyder. Thank you for sharing that information. The coupe version of that I know was produced more than the 47 you mentioned. The 918 owners had at that time given the chance to order the coupe Turbo S to match their 918 Spyder. Not sure how many Turbo S coupes were made when the 918 Spyder were first introduced.
The Exclusive Series I was referring to is the 2018 Turbo S Exclusive Series that can be ordered in six varying colors and the launch color was the "Golden Yellow Metallic.

Actually, there were a total of 47 Edition 918 Spyders built - including both Coupe and Cabriolet. This production # was originally reported in Car and Driver. Porsche switched over to the 991 platform and this effectively closed the window during the early ordering process of the 918. A RL member ( Pors9?) has a site that pulled up 46, but I believe one was totaled out of the 47 Porsche built. Mecam auctioned one off incorrectly stating 991 were built, which was a huge disservice to the seller, given its unicorn status.
I was told a while back that Porsche would be switching to turbo for their 911 race cars.... this looks like a GT2RS cup. Definitely not mid engine. Note the roll bar and ram air vents on the engine hood.

Thank you for sharing that info. I know one 918 owner who ordered the coupe version Turbo S to match his 918. Very unique indeed and like what you stated there was a very short window to order that Turbo S and did not know until now, they came with the cabriolet version too.
