OK, so it's a 997 Turbo S Cab '918 Spyder Edition' but still as rare as hen's teeth.

There can't be many of these around as you were only offered one if you also ordered a genuine 918 Spyder for £600k+.

I quite like it and if you were to sink £140k into it you are unlikely to ever see another. Will probably end up in a private collection or museum with very few more than the current 1500 miles.

Would have expected it to be sold privately for a huge mark up...

I know this was given to you if you placed an order for a 918, so if there are a couple of 918 edition Turbo's for sale, i take it the original owner is allowed to sell the car or if they sell it do they lose their place on the 918 waiting list ??

You don't get given it, you have the option to buy it.

I do not see the point of it then, a pointless special edition.

The point of it is quite simple. Sales.

It's something to keep some of the patient buyers amused whilst they await their Spyder.
