2015 918 Spyder

The 918 Spyder debuted as a production car at the Frankfurt Motor Show and served as Porsche’s successor to the legendary Carrera GT. Limited to just 918 examples, it combined a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 derived from the RS Spyder race car with two electric motors to produce a combined 887 horsepower. The result was one of the first hybrid hypercars and a technological showcase for Porsche, capable of delivering both incredible performance and surprising efficiency. Alongside the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, the 918 formed the “Holy Trinity” of modern hypercars and remains one of the most significant road cars Porsche has ever built.

This 2015 918 Spyder was finished in Guards Red over a Sonderwunsch Garnet Red leather interior with Silver piping and showed just 420 miles. Nicely optioned, it featured Front Axle Lift, the Carbon Fiber Interior Package, carbon-fiber side mirrors, and a carbon-fiber rear wing, among other desirable extras.

Over the past twelve months, 918 Spyder values have averaged $3,200,000, with a low of $1,715,000 and a high of $6,050,000 for the 845-mile Orange Weissach example sold at Mecum Kissimmee earlier this year. While our Spotlight Car lacked the Weissach Package, it made up for it with a fantastic color combination, desirable options, and just 420 miles. The result was a sale price of $3,117,450*, making it the first non-Weissach example we’ve seen top the $3 million mark.

You may have a more expensive watch in your drawer. But this will be the one on your wrist.

Two things that always go hand in hand are Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd, and just like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points.

Enter Jay Turkbas, founder of Sheffield Watches. Jay approached me two years ago when he was relaunching his new microbrand, inspired by his original Sheffield watch from the 1970s. He took that inspiration and paired it with more than 30 years in product development to bring back the classic Sheffield Dive Watch line, a name once known for honest, low-price-point quality in 1950s New York.

Today Sheffield Watches has grown to more than 20 models and has partnered with names like Spike Feresten of Spikes Car Radio and Jay Leno, with one of my favorites, the Jay Leno’s Garage Driver’s Watch. Throughout that growth, Jay has kept the same Sheffield philosophy alive, creating watches at accessible price points that outperform expectations in build quality and performance. Give Sheffield Watches a look. I think you will be just as impressed as I am.To read the FULL Stuttgart Market Letter, with Noteworthy Sales (and No Sales), New Listings, and a full rundown of every Porsche sold today, subscribe below.
