Porsche 918 Spyder : the staggering prices of spare parts 2016-03-22
The Porsche 918 Spyder is not for all people. The Zuffenhausen supercar pay dearly for its exclusivity and its technologies with a price of 775,404 euros. Like all cars, it is not immune to a passage in the workshop may result, with the 918 Spyder, a very large bill.
On Reddit forum, a knowledgeable user has published screenshots of a non-exhaustive list of replacement parts for the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Thus, in case of trouble with the engine / transmission, the manufacturer charges the 4.6-liter V8 for the price of 203,385 dollars (180,481 euros) and the transmission is displayed at a price of 69,239 dollars (61,442 euros). Also in the mechanical part, a crankshaft requires a check of 7108 dollars (6307 euros).
The fin and the complete system are available at a price of 28,352 dollars (25,159 euros) and the flat bottom at a price of 19,915 dollars (17,672 euros). Delirium goes even further with a brake disc at a price of 9000 dollars, a carbon bucket seat displayed in 9700 dollars (8607 euros) and a floor mat at 537 dollars (476 euros). Yes, almost 500 euros for a single mat, which brings nothing to the performance of the car.
It is therefore necessary to have a substantial financial reserve in case of reliability problems. The costs of periodic transactions have not been disclosed, but the price of a drain or a review must also give cold sweats to the banker.
