Porsche 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder For A Lucky Few

When Porsche announced the official production of the Porsche 918 Spyder, they also announced the opportunity to purchase a special edition Porsche 911 Turbo S. You have the option of a Coupe or Cabriolet. The car carries inspired design cues from the 918 Spyder’s styling on both the interior and exterior.

Some of the features include:

• Similar exterior colors
• Carbon-fiber elements inside and out
• Enhanced leather equipment
• Numerous acid-green accents on items such as the brake calipers, illuminated sill plates, interior stitching and instrument cluster needles

Probably one of the most notable things is a limited edition badge on the glove compartment door. It will feature the same production number as your Porsche 918 Spyder. LOVE that!

The Porsche 918 Spyder is limited to 918 units, thus limiting the Porsche 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder to the same production of no more than 918 cars. Unlike the 918 Spyder, the 911 Turbo S will begin hitting customer’s doorsteps later in 2011.

Base price for the 918 Spyder Edition of the 911 Turbo S is set at $160,700 for the Coupe version and $172,100 for the Cabriolet model. Add that to the 918 Spyder’s price tag and you’re dropping a cool mil on the package.

This has got to be one of the coolest special edition cars Porsche has ever offered. Not necessarily because it’s so much different than anything you could currently get your hands on, but more due to the tie in to the Porsche 918 Spyder. The personalization of the badging between the two cars is pretty sweet too.

It’ll be interesting to see how many 918 Spyder orders include an order for the 911 Turbo S. My guess is about 50%. I’m also curious to see how much these special edition 911 Turbo S cars will appreciate in value and how quickly.
