      That’s because it acts as a DNA template for all Porsche models throughout a 10 year period. First 5 years is subtle integrations, last 5 years is accelerated changes (taycan). In 2025 Porsche will release a new hyper car.

However, your persistence, a lot of behind the scenes hard work, a refined and unique palette and a maybe a dash of luck has earned you all these moments. Thank you for sharing and happy to support. Nice to see someone who truly is a car guy enjoy

    I have a real soft spot for the 918. It basically does everything you want in a car from the usable e-mode to the screaming V8 with top-mounted exhausts to the all wheel drive system to the targa top.

    Agreed, James. I’ve never loved the look of the 918, and now I understand why. Most examples have all of the fussy stripes and decals which detract from the overall shape and essence of the car. This particular example is stunning! The simple shade of gray really highlights the shape of the car. It lets the design speak for itself, and it really looks fantastic. Plus just a few tasteful splashes of color detail. By far the best-looking 918 I’ve seen.
