Canadian tuner SR Auto Group has long established itself as an authority in upgrading the looks of all sort of exotic super cars. They have a great taste in body kits, colors and wheels, which is why we are mighty glad they have just taken delivery of a white Porsche 918 Spyder!
We can’t wait to see what SR Auto has in mind for the German hyper car, but knowing their previous works, they will probably start by fitting the Porsche 91 Spyder with a set of extremely fancy wheels – most likely from supplied by their partners at PUR Wheels – and continue later on may be with a nice wrap or some cool graphics.
There is only so much you can do to a car like the 918 without ruining it, especially this one which has the desirable Weissach Package aero kit already installed on it. The kit adds extra large aero parts, different wheels, more carbon components, and some extra power to boot.
