I've found a new Weissach for sale (at a healthy premium) in Europe but it has no front lift. I'm used to having and using the front lift on my other cars so this is a disappointment. Does anyone know if a kit is available for dealer fitment?

See the clip above (starting from 0:37s), you definitely need the lift system on the 918.

Anything is retrofittable, it all comes down to how much time and money you want to spend to get it done!

At what premium is of interest over msrp

We were told that retrofit isn't recommended at Tech Tactics East. I'm not sure if he said not possible, but certainly not recommended and would not be warrantied in any way.

Thanks - I got word back from the factory that retrofit isn't possible.

I wouldn't say it is necessary. But without it you would need to be extremely careful any time you are near curbs or contemplating inclines/declines, etc. I know I'd screw up at least once and scrap the front like the person in the video. So I ordered it. But, if I was looking to buy a 918 now that they are all gone, I wouldn't let the lack of a lift get in my way. It's better to have a 918 with no lift than no 918 at all.

I meant to say "scrape"... but "scrap" is probably just as likely.
