AUTOart 1:12 Porsche Black 918 Spyder

The Porsche 918 Spyder marked a defining moment in Porsche history and is widely regarded as the true successor to the legendary Carrera GT. More than just a hypercar, the 918 represented Porsche’s bold leap into a new era of performance, technology, and exclusivity.

At the time of its release, the 918 Spyder was considered a challenging sell. Its advanced hybrid drivetrain and ambitious price point prompted Porsche to introduce the now-famous 918 Owner Preferential Allocation Program, commonly known as the VIP program. Buyers who purchased directly through authorized Porsche dealers were rewarded with priority allocation on future GT and special-edition Porsche models for a period of ten years.

With hindsight, the 918 Spyder proved to be one of the most important purchases in modern Porsche collecting. As waitlists, dealer markups, and limited allocations became the norm for Porsche’s most desirable road cars, the foresight of early 918 buyers became unmistakably clear.
