Is the Porsche 918 Spyder the greatest Porsche of all time? There’s only one way to find out - an all-new, in-depth Mat Watson review!
Mat’s flown over to Germany to get his hands on this legendary Porsche hypercar to see if it can still live up to its legendary status. So let’s take a closer look…
Starting with the power unit, it comes equipped with a glorious 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8 along with TWO electric motors to put down a monumental 887hp and 1,280Nm of torque! As a result, the 918 Spyder can hit 60mph in just 2.6 seconds and has a top speed of 214mph!
It’s not all about the power though - the 918 Spyder looks absolutely glorious. All the vents from the front to the back serve a purpose (there’s no fakery here!) and the top-mounted exhaust pipes look incredible. The quality continues not the inside, too, with high-quality materials found throughout.
When it first came out the 918 Spyder cost £700,000, and you can now pick one up for around £1.3 million! So is it worth it? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

@@carwow yes
One day we are gonna see a hyundai getz on this channel and it's gonna be sick day 30
The 918 spyder's design I feel has remained timeless compared to the other two, both interior and exterior. I have always been a P1 fan but everytime I see the 918 now, I still can't believe this car is nearly a decade old now.
Similar to 1st gen Audi R8. That things still looks modern. Clean lines are always modern.
The 918 was easily the most modern of the Holy Trinity. It was always.....always going to have the better shelf life. The engine is a diamond.....and the rest is still cutting edge.
So true 💯
The P1 looks more modern imo, still looks like a spaceship
I’ll take some of what you’re having
Since it's launch, it's always been and will likely always be my favourite hyper car. Timeless design and a perfect blend of modern technology and outrageous race-derived V8. Perfection.
The new bugatti ridiculous
@@truthinlifewoken6698 yep. And also worse than GT-R NISMO '14.
@@purwantiallan5089 in what way lol
Its a cool car, but lets be honest, its also a boring version of a Carrera gt.
@@Jallu555 nah, not every car has to be a racing death machine for it to be fun
Porsche 918 Spyder. I remember all the comparison tests, where the Porsche always won the standing start races. With the McLaren and Ferrari both needing 10+ seconds to catch and pass the Porsche. In the real world none of these cars would be at full acceleration for over 10 seconds on the street. So, for me 4wd, and fastest real world car - Porsche is best car.
Also beat the other 2 in tight tracks.
if you think it's all about acceleration in some childish pissing contest, you really are clueless. It's about how it makes you feel and how enjoyable it is to drive. Why be so shallow and insecure about wanting the best 0-60 time? It's not a racecar.
Yet, when the tesla model S plaid smokes the porsche, you guys start talkin about handling, feel and sound lol. So, for me, the tesla model S plaid is the the fastest real world car - Tesla is best car
@@donn.4766 porsches were rarely the fastest in a straight line. They were always more about the drive. If you care about the experience of a drive ie being involved and having your senses engaged, the tesla is utter dogshit.
@@Hello_there_obi lol yeah, ur on a carwow page. All they do is 0-60 and straightline racing. Its in the title. Plus, havent u seen any other carwow vids and the comments in them they are all nutthugging the turbo s for being so fast, yet the tesla slaps it.
When 918 Spyder released, car and driver did a review and they managed to get 0-62mph in 2.2 seconds, I remember seeing Holly trinity for the first time, instantly fell in love with 918, after almost a decade still my favourite car besides McLaren F1 and Ford GT40
That's 2 seconds to 60mph, insane!
Nice set of cars
Good taste of legendary cars.
you know a car is good when its still getting reviewed almost 10 years later
There's at least 2 idiots above me
Yes and it looks brand new even from the inside! Which is particularly difficult nowadays
Oh wow youtube
@@TamiyaPhilippW and also judging on how significant the price increase is.
@@JahoSelamaj yes its me im totally the real youtube
The timeless design of that 918 Spyder still holds up its true beauty. No say about the performance as well. What a car!
The 918 Spyder vs Lexus IS F drag race could be interesting.
@telegram, 👉carwow11 Thank you for scamming
That was some weak Petter Griffin Mat 😂
Thank you for driving Porsche's beautiful 918 👌
Oh I thought it was Topcat 😂
I was thinking Chewbacca
I thought it was Boyce from Only Fools
918 looks good even today. They could announce it today for the first time and it would wow people. Clean design.
918 still far better than DP-100.
The Porsche spyder is absolutely something to fall in love for, the electric part to adds so much more to it!
Great video car wow!
right
This is my unobtainable dream car. It's absolutely glorious.
@@marufadnan614 car for everyone. Although so hard to buy it.
@@snakeeyes9246 yep. It costed $950000.
*918 Spyder. You can't shorten a name from the middle.
If you're too lazy just cut the "Porsche" or even cut it down further to only say "918" (since there no "normal" non-spyder variant)
I've been with this Channel long before they hit 100k subscribers and all i can say after so many years, many car reviews, drag racesc, Car Wow stick of truth, throwing away the car parcel shelf etc..... you people never dissapoint. Thank you all!!!
Carwow Stick of Truth? Sounded like South Park got an upgrade.
I subbed at like 140k, so we're kinda the OG fans lol
@@whotf888 damn right!
Me too, I followed Mat from Carbuyer.
@@havardstle3788 same here !
Hats off to the film crew. I've seen a lot of videos for the 918 but no one has captured it so beautifully. Perhaps its the lighting and the body color, but my god the lines are just so well balanced. There's a real presence to it, but not shouty like most hyper cars.
Those side vents behind the doors are not only cooler intakes, but also the actual engine intakes. They designed a bonkers engine filter to fit back in there. I was fortunate enough to see the test mule (918 #0) that they used to test everything, as well as drive test 918 #3 (Carrie, if memory serves) on a racetrack. This is such a monster, amazing, unreal car.
That’s one legendary car
Very much indeed 😊
Car for everyone.
I remember when I was in high school back in 2013 and I was at the Detroit Auto Show for a field trip with the technical school I was going to part of the day, and the 918 was there at the Porsche exhibit. I was in awe, it was love at first sight. Saw one driving by a while back and it was just as beautiful as the first day I saw it. Porsche made a masterpiece.
Once again, to think the M5 CS is also sub 3 seconds for a 0 - 60 makes you realise, when watching these hypercars, how much of a gem it is.
If they made it as a station wagon, it'd be the most incredible road trip car. Think of how quick overtaking manoeuvres would be
im pretty sure the 918 does a sub 2.5 seconds in good conditions
Still love it. I hope Porsche offer a refresh program for the 918 in the future. An updated, lightweight battery from Rimac could drop 100kg, and some little tweaks like a Taycan-style digital instrument swapout would be awesome. This car at 1575kg and some 2022 PS2Rs would go sub-6:40 on the Ring.
I think the 918 is like the Enzo, it’s doesn’t need a second version
Don’t forget it’s should get it any colour you like
@@ctm9364 but still easily outlasted the LM Hypercars in terms of quarter mile drags.
@@andrewfayi9448 like beige or hawaiian white colour?
@@purwantiallan5089 Whatever colour you want that’s a great thing of a paint sample
This was one of my favourite dream cars of all time, when I was in grd8 back-in 2015. Still love it! I remembered buying a RC model of this on that Yr. Now I want the Autoart 1/18 of thus 🥰🔥
The diecast of the one you mention still long way to go.
@@purwantiallan5089 not that long considering I’m a 1/18 scale model car collector
This car can do 0-60 in 2.2s in perfect conditions. Still one of the fastest cars 0-60 to this day.
I remember seeing two of these together at one car show seven years ago. They are stunning in person, low, sleek and sexy. The owners seemed very pleased to be sitting next to them. Can't blame them, they must have been reeking with money considering the purchase price of their rigs (which I'm sure has never gone down in value). What a fantastic time it was (and is) to live in a world where the P1, the LaFerrari and 918 could all exist at one time. Great review and incredible car. When you're done with it, ship it to me and just tell the owner you lost it. I'll pay for the shipping.
Mat!!!! Always coming through with the best content!!! Love sent from the U.S.!!
Couldnt agree more.
That v8 is music to my ears.
Matt, I'll give you a 6 for the spongebob impersonation 😂
That's Peter Griffin from Family Guy, not Sponge Bob, and the other reply to your comment is a scam. 😂
One of the cars that caught my attention when I first started playing racing games as a kid and I'm still in love
One of my fav automobiles of all time. A hyper-car truly designed before it's time.
Still one of the best looking cars ever.
Agreed
@@KUNALDINIHO along with SRT TOMAHAWKs.
This is to me the greatest car of all time I’m so happy matt done this
When he launched it the first time I was looking at the speedometer thinking why on earth is that number increasing so slow. Fell for it.
The sounds of engine and gear changes are perfect and amazing. This car is an art and I wish I had a small chance for driving and tasting it. Thanks for reviewing ❤❤💙💙
Oh my days, finally we got a 918 review
Yep. Soon hopefully Matt reviews Mazda LM55 Vision GT.
Mat we want more hypercar reviews and drag races like this one!
Wish we could see a review on Infiniti Concept VGT.
6:53 That was a very good Peter Griffin impression. 😄😄
I feel like this car brought so many new people to Porsche. Absolutely gorgeous and menacing at the same time.
That's one legendary, iconic and unique car!
Porsche should made a hybrid like this to challenge the sf90. No need to use the v8 they can just use the gt3rs engine and paired it with the batteries
Gt3 engine has much less torque
@@guycha0s380 yeah because it doesnt have electric motors
Gt4
@@guycha0s380 much less torque ?? Only 50lbs-ft dude
The batteries is the reason why the 918 has a lot of torque
This v8 actually has low torque considering it has 2 more cyl
@@guycha0s380 GT3 also only have 500 to 600bhp on average.
The horsefly regret animation and the kick up the backside for mentioning Nurburgring had me laughing so hard I had to pause.
nothing is funnier than math getting bit in the behind 🤣
I think it’s amongst the most beautiful and timelessly designed supercar ever (hypercar really!). Despite it being 10 years old, you wouldn’t be able to tell it’s age. Only have seen one in Leeds, and that was at Porsche’s showroom, and once you see it in flesh, you forget about all them ferraris and lambos that such Brits are soo used to seeing almost on daily basis
its amazing hold "old" the laferrari and p1 and 918 are, and yet, we are still revere them as the best. pretty amazing machines
Well, they are not old. It's not the passing of time that makes a car old, it's the advancement of technology. And what they have has not become old.
Hi mat I really like to watch your drag races and your reviews about cars it makes my day
This car is a legend! The only way I can come closer to this is driving it in FH5 and Real Racing 3. The drive dynamics is sublime! I only wish I can see it in person some day.
One of the best modern cars made 👌
One of my dream Porsches 😍☺️🤤
Great video as always.
Cheers
Great test!
This and the la Ferrari are by far my favourite cars
Matt, 918 versus Porsche Turbo S drag race. Would love to see the results :-)
They have done that two weeks ago
@@aanilhasan1362 what about 918 vs Turbo S vs SRT TOMAHAWK X?
@@purwantiallan5089 they should do that 😀
Plaid baby! ⚡🔥🚀🇺🇸
The black and white horsefly sequence was funny af 😂😂😂
Lol you really
Got me with that first launch, matt.
9:50 - If you're in front of everyone, that's when you DO need to see behind you. If you're behind everyone, then you don't need to see behind you.
Logic, Mat, logic.
A one of one engine! That's why it's the best of the three to me. 9k revving NA Porsche V8! The road tax in the UK must be around £60 a year!
It's actually - would you believe - zero road tax! I agree, the engine and powertrain is what makes this car stand out from the other two - v. v. special.
Porsche V8 is on par with 787B's Rotary.
@@stefaneinz Also the styling, other to are great looking cars but more or so… A functional look in my opinion. This is just classy, simple and just overall my favorite looking out of the holy trinity. I still love the Mclaren more but this isn’t far behind!
I see one of these a few weeks back on the A45.
Bloke was thrashing it and it sounded unreal.
I couldn't believe I see it being driven how ot should be.
What a car.
Seeing fire spit out the top instead of the back is just awesome
Nice! My all time favourite unreasonable car XD The performance, the sound, the design (love the top tail pipes... Insane)
Thats why it costed 1m dollars.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the most coolest looking and powerful Porsche of all time!
This is a timeless masterpiece.
Very good review Matt👍
Can't believe it's 9 years old already, still looks relevant today, including the P1 and the Laf. You know the saying, they don't make them like they used too...
2022 cars looked pale in comparison to 2010s.
Btw, what does spyder stand for? 🤔
Removable roof...
All time favorite Porsche. The brake calipers, rims are just stunning. Beautiful hypercar 💖💗💓
This car is the definition of timeless, it came out 10 years ago but it looks like it Porsche could’ve done a press release for it today
The 918 was always my favourite of the holy trinity. It always looked the best and it also was the most versatile car of the 3. Yeah sure when you're pushing the cars to their absolute limit then maybe the La Ferrari or the P1 is slightly better, but under 99% of normal driving conditions the 918 is far superior, and can still keep up with the La Ferrari and P1 even in that 1% case when you're pushing it to the limit.
Yep. Pushing 50 percent limit.
And all get smoked by a tesla mode S plaid which is 4 door family sedan lol. Embarrassing.
Great review Matt got to drive 918 and LaFerrari now time for McLaren P1 there we go
You didn't even watch the video and saying it great review 😭🤣 dude at least wait
@@Jiishaan shut up 🤢 we need McLaren P1 Vs LaFerrari Vs 918
@@Smzxe why should I shut up when you are lying about a review before even watching it. Looks you are a RUclipsr too so that says a lot about your content
@@Jiishaan don't have time to watch the whole review I know 918 Spyder completely
@@Jiishaan 😂 I thought this too.
Ten years and it still looks the part. Porsche and their classic, timeless designs. Gotta love it!
Such a special machine, I think it's getting better with time and that liquid silver is something else. Pure class
The Holy spirit is the spirit of god living inside of us and guiding us
Great video. I started watching your videos last year as a beginner before At the moment bitcoin is the best and profitable coin to buy and invest in.giving stock market a trial. I was able to make $17,300 in one month with a capital of $4,000 trading with an experience expert who guided me through out my trading.
Good 😊
I'm very happy to start investing too than to have my money sleeping in bank
At the moment bitcoin is the best and profitable coin to buy and invest in.
Hmm 🤔
I held stock for a long term but I swapped and invested in Bitcoin and forex and I have been earning much
i saw them all 3 at different times in London, but this just stood out against the other 3 in such a good way. The only one i would want from the 3.
Ive been waiting for this review for a long time, its my dream car~
For God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life
The Holy Ghost is God's Spritual living-water, urgings for your heart, the sight for your eyes, the gravity for your feet. He is the doer of Godly deeds that transcend all physical limitations. All Godly Communication and all Godly Coordination is He. (This is my personal understanding)
Weird
The design is soo elegant, the best looking one in my opinion between the holy trinity
Really cool and awesome models 🔥🔥
Probably the most timeless design that Porsche has ever come out with. I think the 918 is absolutely beautiful!!
It would be so cool if you could do a head-to-head video comparing the P1, LaFerrari, and 918!
10 years on, the 918 still looks like a spaceship.
From every angle the 918 is stunning and rather timeless!
That impression wasn't bad at all that was Peter Griffin 🤣
Excellent video!
that laugh at 6:53 sounded like Janice's from Friends.
7:00 peter from family guy 😂😂
Peter Griffin action lmaoooooooo and that Porsche is unbelievable the sound ooooooooff
9:23 Anyone else think Matt still has Sink Baths? 😂
Was that an impression of Superman. I got it when you said Lois 😂😂😂😂
Matt sitting in the front trunk of the Porsche really caught me off guard 🤣
The editing was nice!
Great review as always. I think you need to drive more everyday affordable cars and incorporate them into some fun challenges. How about you try to introduce some motorcycles as well? That would be interesting. Keep up the great work CW team.
P.S, kudos to Porsche as always, this car RIPS. 2.75 to 60? Jeeze.
6:57 Peter Griffin🤣🤣🤣
loved the Peter laugh there😁
Gotta love the Mat "it's a little bit like..." Comparisons hehe
1:05 that 80 tho 😂
It’s the one I’d buy out of the three. It’s my favourite and the one I could use almost daily.
Not only does it sound great, it LOOKS awesome!!!
Remains one of my all-time favs 👌!
This is probably my all time favorite hyper car!
One of the best modern cars and my dream car😍
I am right outside a Porsche showroom with this car for sale and was waiting for your final verdict. Now that Matt says to buy it, well I am gonna go home in my cycle and cry myself to sleep.
One of my all time faves. Love this car and would find it difficult not to buy one when I win the lottery.
Very convincing Quasimodo impersonation Mat 😂😂😂
One of my most favorite cars of all time!!!
All time dream car,Imma own one someday 🤞🏽
