Amazing! Hope they're right about the future of this beautiful piece of history.

 

This is a 918 VIP car obviously. They don't give a crap about getting booted from the program because it's about to end and there's no more car to flip.

 

I expect more 918 VIP STs to come to the market very soon....

 

Should be interesting to see what they trade at once on the open market. Wouldn't surprise me to see actual sales close of the aspirational listing above.

 

This is what ticks me off to no end. These 918 folks are the biggest flippers out there, yet Porsche puts out some lip service BS press release about leasing the cars to prevent flipping. Porsche knows my track record, they know I am not flipping my cars, yet 918 folks, actual brokers and dealers all get to play the flip game. This forced lease is the first time in all my years of Porsche buying that I am really annoyed at Porsche, as usually they do the right thing. This is a pure cash grab, has nothing to do with preventing flipping.

 

Not this VIP.

My VIP rights doesn't expire until July 2025. So unless Porsche isn't releasing another special edition between now and then, I think I'm in it for at least 1 to 2 more special edition releases

Hallelujah to the 918 VIP program

 

Sorry, no more special numbered cars coming between now and July 2025 so you have the green light to flip your ST.

 

The most fair thing to do would have been to force the 918 VIP guys to also have to do the 1-year lease to level the playing field.

 

The enthusiast VIPs and S/T lovers would likely not be the flippers.

 

True, but then how would we know who is VIP and who isn't?

 

Congrats to all the owners taking delivery.

Enjoy the car in good health.

 

And just a quick reminder.

Let's keep this topic on the S/T, taking delivery of the S/T, driving the S/T, and even washing the S/T if you want.

But let's keep talk of ADMs, dealers shenanigans, logistics of the lease requirement, etc. to a minimum, if not out of this thread entirely.

Otherwise, there will be a wholesale "clean up on aisle 7" upcoming.

Thank you.

 

Safe assumption is that any ST listed for sale this year is a 918 VIP car because the non-VIPs have a 1-year lease so they can't flip until the lease is up and they buy their cars.

 

First to post pics here? Congrats .

You gotta give it to them. Porsche is brilliant. They did everything right on this to market it to die hard P-car purists. Casual enthusiasts and the masses following suit. Gonna eventually go for >$1m.

 

S/T drive a little more "on the cam" than the GT3?

Aggressive cam profile with a LWFW would give the car a distinctly different feel from the GT3.
