Not to be overly broad, but Porsche’s target demographic for the 918 Spyder is anyone with a heartbeat. It kind of looks like an Audi R8, which is one of the most gorgeous cars in existence. It has top-mounted exhausts that blast blue jet fumes like a rocket. It can go from stationary to 60 mph in 2.2 seconds. That’s Porsche’s way of saying, “Zero to sixty in one second? We are this close.”
It’s also Porsche’s way of saying that this is a car you can’t have. Imagine if Apple made a revolutionary iPhone 7, and then announced it would be making only seven of them. That’s great news if you already own a space shuttle. Not so great if you know what FICA is.
We hate to break it to you, but it’s hard enough just to get a Macan at this point. They’re sold out for months in advance. The other day, whilst driving to Durham, we saw a Rolls-Royce on the highway. We expect to have more sightings of Rolls’ in our lifetime than we do of 918’s.
Nonetheless, in an effort to show what you can’t have, and maybe inspire you to call up your mother whom you already don’t talk to enough, and berate her for not pushing you harder as a child because maybe if she had you would be the type of person who could think about going to the bank and asking for a loan that would allow you to pay off half of your 918 Spyder before you die and pass on the second half to your children and children’s children—in an effort to get all of that in motion, a video has emerged so that you can watch the 918 being assembled deep in Porscheland.
