The 918 Spyder has been such a public car that we sometimes forget where the line between the production and prototype model is drawn. Ever since the first concept came out, this car has managed to fascinate us not through design or luxury, but through evolution and numbers.
We've seen hp figures rise in the face of competition from McLaren and Ferrari. The 918 is almost ready, and yet we still manage to see these test prototypes here and there. This one was filmed in an underground parking lot somewhere in Stuttgart.
With a minivan filled with engineers in tow, the prototype sets off, not before revealing some of its secrets. DrGumo, who filmed the car, says the following elements on it are not production-ready:
Porsche Carrera GT (980) roof
Porsche Carrera GT (980) door opener
Porsche 911 Carrera (991) rear lights
fixed rear wing
missing covers at the top pipes
missing porsche crest on the hood
black sinstead instead of acid green brake caliper
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
