Riviera Blue Paint-To-Sample 918 Spyder Is Simply Stunning
This 918 Spyder is definitely worth all of our love on Valentine's Day.
Standing Out
In our book, any Porsche 918 Spyder is special. Which is probably true of any hypercar with a production run of fewer than 1,000 units. But if you're looking to stand out from that diminutive crowd, this beautiful paint-to-sample Rivera Blue example, which we spotted recently over at Mecum Auctions, is a great way to do it.

Truly Unique
Equipped with the Weissach Package, this beautiful machine is a proper one-owner car with just 1,653 miles on the clock. It's number 421 of 918 produced, and remains in brand new condition today, years after the car was originally built. That isn't uncommon with 918s, of course, but this one is most certainly unique in a number of ways.

Interesting Options
Aside from the stunning color, this 918 is also adorned with the CXX custom tailoring option. The Carbon ceramic disc brakes sport Acid Green calipers, which is a unique choice. And the car even comes with two sets of rolling stock - both the original Weissach magnesium wheels and non-Weissach wheels/tires.

Perfect Compliment
On the inside, you'll find a Black Onyx leather interior with silver piping and lots of matching blue compliments. There's also a set of carbon fiber floor mats with silver piping, along with a Burmester sound system. Everything here looks factory fresh, including the easy-to-scratch and massive door sills.

Powertrain Combo
Like every other 918 out there, this one's powered by both a 4.6-liter gas V8 and an electric motor combo that produces an astounding 887 horsepower. Power flows through a dual-clutch PDK 7-speed automatic transmission to an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential with a 3.08 final drive. Driving all four wheels, performance is obviously impressive, even by today's standards.

Rarified Air
We've seen our fair share of uniquely optioned 918s over the years, but this blue beauty stands out even in that rarified crowd. These cars have certainly held their interest over the last few years as well, so you can bet this one won't go cheap. Especially with such a cool, non-metallic paint job to show off under the auction house lights.
