Edition 918 Spyder??
So a friend of mine found this car online and we were talking about if it really is that rare? I have searched online and seen a few of the previously sold cars but wanted to know if anyone else had actual production figures?

Does anyone think these 918 models could be worth something in the future?

IMO with 64K plus miles, it's a cab and several CF panels need repair/replacement (no big deal), it's priced a little high. There may be future collector interest because of it's low production numbers but in the end it's still a standard TTS with novelty gingerbread cosmetics. If I was in the collector market it would be tempting but you would also have to park it for years to keep the miles off until the collector market caught up to it, if ever.

Rare - yes. Collector's car and worth a big premium above another TTS cab, I don't think so. Honestly I don't get the concept of this car. It's like a baby brother to the 918 and would be odd if you didn't have a 918 to go with it. A black coupe bid up to $112K (reserve not met) a couple years ago: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...e-911-turbo-s/
I think the mileage on this particular car hurts whatever perceived "collector value" it had. At least it was driven and enjoyed. I would start at a fair market value for 997.2 TTS cab and add a few grand if you like the acid green details.

Seeing this car makes me SO GLAD my car didn't come with a carbon fiber interior. If this is what happens to carbon fiber over the years, no thanks. If this was a coupe for this price, I'd sell my car right now and get it instead of what I have if the mileage was closer to 25k. ;o)

Porsche once in a while does come out with a winning limited edition line. This is one example that failed. The 911R was a limited run also associated with the 918. That one was a winner that peaked early but settled. The 911R is a beautiful car. It’s got Greta Thunberg written all over it with all this green crap.

Sales
I sold my 2012 edition 918 for $151k three months ago . I spoke to the seller of the bringatrailer flop.. he sold that one in the $140s days after the auction ended. Highly collectible, regardless of the haters and trolls.
