The Porsche 918 Spyder has a chassis constructed nearly completely from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composite. The engine is a naturally aspirated 90-degree V-8 based on the engine found in the RS Spyder LMP2 Le Mans prototype. The engine delivers 608 horsepower plus an additional 284 horsepower is produced from a pair of electric motors. Combined output is 887 bhp and 944 foot-pounds of torque. Large carbon-ceramic discs are concealed behind the lightweight alloy wheels.

Zero-to-sixty mph is accomplished in less than 2.5 seconds with top speed achieved at 211 mph. Fewer than 300 examples were sent to the United States and this particular example is the 268th 918 Spyder built. It is finished in Dark Blue metallic over a Black leather interior with Acid Green highlights. Options include the nose lifter, glare reducing interior package, visible carbon fiber interior trim, a fire extinguisher, Burmester premium sound system, Acid Green seat belts, and wheels painted Platinum Silver.

The car was delivered new to Miami and accumulated 817 miles with its first owner before entering the care of a second Florida-based owner. Currently it has fewer than 1,300 miles on its odometer.
