Matte Black Porsche 918 Mecum 0 600x318 at Up for Grabs: Matte Black Porsche 918

If you are looking for an ultra-exclusive hyper car, one that would stand out in your Beverly Hills neighborhood, we recommend you take a look at this Matte Black Porsche 918 Spyder, the only one in America in this specs. This bad boy is crossing the auction block next month at Mecum’s Monterey event.

Besides having no real boring paint, the Matte Black Porsche 918 also has going for it the fact that it’s a Weissach Spyder, meaning it comes from the factory with a number extras such as extended aero parts, special wheels and tires, upped power and top speed and some exclusive interior features. Another reason why you shouldn’t miss out on this car is that it has only 1,957 original miles which means it is practically brand-new.

There is no doubt that this Matte Black Porsche 918 is one of the most desirable cars offered at the Monterey auctions, which is saying something because it also includes gems such as this McLaren P1 and this Aston Martin Vulcan. As for how much it might go for, well it is certainly in the millions, given that the original price of the 918 Spyder was around $950K, not counting the $90K Weissach Package. All that said, if you want something truly special you should spend that money on this Porsche Carrera GT.
