If you're buying the 918 they should give the damn thing to you until you take delivery.
Agreed. Who would want one anyway unless they have the 918...

Doesn't do it for me, even though silver and that green are one of my favorite combos.

A 918 Spyder coupe??? Makes no sense at all. Based on the name it should only be convertible. Just saying

Thumbs up ?

Looks great to me with the exception of the sticker on the door. Black tinted windows and it would look even better.

i bet that stitching on the column is optional...while these colors look cool on the 918, on the TT it looks comical

Thanks for posting the pics.

It's kind of odd, in my opinion, to create a model of car and make it a limited edition named after another completely different model. It'd be like if Audi made a TT that was an "R8 GT edition," or a Ford Focus that was a "Boss 302 edition" -I think most reactions would be... "huh?"

Is it not true that this is just another "value" edition? As this will have all the extra carbon trims as standard plus some other "goodies" for the same low price of a base TT-S. (aka 911 Black edition and Carrera GTS) I don't mind the silly color for the $10k discount.

Parts bin exercise. Use up what's left before the next gen vehicle rolls into production.

As stated above, when Porsche has resorted to calling a coupe a "spyder edition," all I can do is sigh.
