The Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package ($2+ Million USD) is a hybrid hypercar with a naturally aspirated V8 and a gruesome 887 horsepower combined. Despite this, it is said to be the tamest choice of the hypercar holy trinity; compared to the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Mclaren P1. But what makes a hypercar a hypercar? And is it even possible for an 887 horsepower, carbon fibre adorned, Porsche engineered monster to be tame? Thomas and James are bright-eyed and bushy tailed, eagerly waiting to pop their hypercar cherry. Let’s see what the guys think! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

I have to say, this might be the best review I have EVER seen in terms of properly communicating what it must be like for "normal people" like me to experience driving a true hypercar. It was exhilarating just to watch, and the thought that I'll never be able to experience something like that makes me emotional all on its own. What a fantastic opportunity you guys were given, and props for doing such a great job of communicating it so that we laypeople could live vicariously through your experience.

But the combination of the 2nd best sounding engine plus the unparalleled driving dynamics, will make it so much more exhilarating.

When the Holy Trinity of hypercars 1st debuted, the 918 seemed the most pedestrian when it came to looks and everyday usability. The design has aged well, and I actually like it more now, although it would be a tough choice among all 3. They really need to channel more 918 pizzazz into the next Boxter/Cayman.

This car has 0 weaknesses. Even the engine sound is pretty good, helped in large part by that ridiculously awesome exhaust system. And if you don't wanna hear it so much, go full electric mode. Put the roof on. Do both or neither. Advertised 3 L/100 km. Still revs to 9000 which is more than many of its rivals can reach. It was reality-defying and still is.

Man I watched Clarkson's review of the P1 on Spa and he made that my favorite but after watching this I'm having second thoughts. I've seen other 918 reviews from the likes of EVO, Chris Harris, Carwow, ThatDudeinBlue and even Top Gear's own review by Hammond. They really didn't sell me the 918 as that impressive even though we all know it is. But this video cemented the fact for me that's its an all time masterpiece.

The 918 Spyder truly is a once in a lifetime car. I worked at a dealership when this was being developed and I got to see internal info releases that basically saw it gain a significant amount (like hundreds) of HP as specs from the P1 and La Ferrari were released to the public. Porsche spent most of the development time on this car getting the programming right. The hardware was nailed down pretty early in the development phase. Getting the hybrid system to work with the engine seamlessly and let the car do all the ridiculous things it is able to do is truly a masterwork of engineering (cue the video of Chris Harris DRIFTING the 918 Spyder like an S14) and proves that Porsche engineers are literally the best in the whole automotive world. The tech in this car is about 10-15 years ahead of its time. It may not be the prettiest of the Holy Trinity but it is a beautiful car inside and out.

Guys, you have done it again. Like in the epic LFA review it is about feelings. The car is of course spectacular but for us, the viewers, the difference is how you are able to channel your experience even when you are so overwhelmed that you cannot speak. You transfer your feelings from these moments into my living room, letting me take part of this breathtaking experience. An experience that I would never have the opportunity to have myself. Beautiful work, thank you so much. 🙏

I was 8 when the three hybrid supercars arrived and I immediately fell in love with the Porsche 918. It's the most sophisticated and subdued of the 3 but also the most elegant and timeless one. That doesn't mean that the P1 and LF aren't great in their own right.

Opening with James getting lost for words as hes carried away with the experience made my hair on my neck stand up. Also, to me, a hypercar is the class of car where you spare no expense. You throw everything at it that there is. Magnisium instead of aluminium. Its when the experience and performance trumfs any rationality or common sense. Koeningsegg is a great example of what I mean.

I was always surprised how little emphasis was put on the 918's V8 I'm glad Thomas mentioned it. I think because the Laf(errari for those perplexed by the term Laf) has it's V12 then the 918's 'defining thing' was the all wheel drive capability & everyone forgot about the V8 in this.

When these cars were released I was super excited to see the future of 'performance' hybrids but we haven't really seen ones that have been this crazy or well designed. So far its been a balance between sacrificing power for practicality but I always hold out hope that we hit the levels of performance hybrids that these cars pioneered. The 918 holds a very special place in my heart, it's toppled my long desire for a Carrera GT, it's destroyed my Italian Supercar wishes, that 918 Spyder is seriously one of the greats and to remember that its only from 2015 terrifies me in the best way possible. Thank you Throttle House for reviewing it and showing the true feeling behind this Titan of a car!

There was a 918 spyder all the way in the back waiting to be shipped and I had the chance to look at the car up close and let me tell you it leaves an impression on you that I cannot explain. The car looked so powerful and majestic. I can still remember looking at my own reflection on the brake discs. Just a wonderful piece of engineering.
