Here at MW we like to bring you as close as it is possible to the ownership experience of expensive super cars. We can do that by showing you what it’s like not just to drive, but live with these amazing machines. Now, let’s step things up a bit by seeing what it feels like to witness the arrival of your brand-new gloss black Porsche 918 Spyder …

… Better the birth of your first child, we reckon!

The video is shot by the guys from Nue Vue Photography, who were actually on their way to the beach in Boca Raton, Florida, when they stumbled upon the delivery truck and the 918 within its bowels.
