Porsche 918 Spyder Production Ends

Porsche has announced this week that production on its 918 Spyder hypercar has come to an end.

The German carmaker set out to build 918, um, 918s, and having reached that number, Porsche plans to build no more.

It took 21 months of production time to reach the 918th example, and a little over five years has passed since the model was officially unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

Owners now know that only 917 other people or thereabouts can consistently experience the 918’s combined 653kW output via a 447kW petrol-powered V8 and a pair of electric motors driving both front and rear wheels.
