      That’s because it acts as a DNA template for all Porsche models throughout a 10 year period. First 5 years is subtle integrations, last 5 years is accelerated changes (taycan). In 2025 Porsche will release a new hyper car.

    Agreed, James. I’ve never loved the look of the 918, and now I understand why. Most examples have all of the fussy stripes and decals which detract from the overall shape and essence of the car. This particular example is stunning! The simple shade of gray really highlights the shape of the car. It lets the design speak for itself, and it really looks fantastic. Plus just a few tasteful splashes of color detail. By far the best-looking 918 I’ve seen.
