the 2012 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder wins the competition for the Porsche with the longest and maybe clumsiest name ever. however after a day of driving it on sensible roads all around Stuttgart's farm country and blasting along the no-limit Autobahn, however, we have a tendency to break down like perpetually and choose it's pretty damned cool to possess any 911 Turbo S whatsoever.
What's ultimately best regarding this admittedly opportunistic giving from Porsche's promoting department is that it does not price one red cent over the quality 530-horsepower 911 Turbo S – $160,700 for the coupe or $172,100 for the convertible. you simply understand that they talked about charging a lot of more in a very meeting. "Perhaps we must always charge $10,000 more, c'mon. that is a cool $10 million!" you recognize they did.
Besides, even over a standard 911, you most likely cannot afford one anyway, so there is not any reason to begin bellyaching. that is as a result of solely 918 units of this special Turbo S trim are being shifted out the door at Zuffenhausen, and that they are offered only to those magnates who can have their "people" stand in line to fetch a $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid. you are doing not need to buy the accompanying Turbo S 918 edition, however as a Porsche spokesperson tells us, "so far, all 918 Spyder customers have taken their matching-number Turbo S." (A report we've got been given reason to doubt, but...) Naturally, the numbers on the little badges within match, that is completely cute. Our tester was numbered "000," that automatically created us cooler than anyone.
