Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.

What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids – it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.

All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 – the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.

Lol the Weissach package removes the airconditioning system.

Why would anyone want to pay extra just to remove the A/C?

In this case Less does not equal more, but rather Less "costs" more hah

holy.... thats a lot of dough but very much worth it for its performance IMO if what we've been hearing from the media about its performance is true

Chump change

I'll be happy to remove A/C for whoever buys the base model for just $10k.

Think I'll get one with no AC for the track and one with AC for a grocery getter.

Do they take checks?

Haha I was tempted to make the same comment too but then remembered that European cars are exempted from being accused of "copycat designs".

No it's not.

And lulz at $84K to lose interior amenities and drop a whopping 80 lbs.

Ah Porsche... you never cease to amaze me.

Brian@Vossen

Can I just buy the package for the 84k

UberNoob

well koeningsegg CCX (806hp version) goes for about $540k base
veyron goes for over $1 mil

for the amount of technology and performance you can squeeze out of the 918, positions it between the two cars

so... why not $850k?

McLaren P1 is going to cost 700k UK Pounds, Ferrari F150 Enzo will probably be close to the 1 mil USD mark too...

we are talking about a 918, not your typical 911...

Hehe removing A/C in hot places like Arizona and Texas or even South East Asia and Middle East + Africa = NOT AN OPTION
