Porsche's head of research and development, Wolfgang Hatz, revealed at the LA motor show that all 918 units of the 918 Spyder have sold out and that there will be a successor to the petrol-electric hybrid hypercar.
“I was always convinced we’d sell out, and what is most satisfying is that the sales have accelerated as reviews confirmed the car is everything we promised it would be,” said Hatz.
Hatz said the know-how learned while developing the 918 would serve Porsche well in future years, and added that the car had now set a blueprint for investing in pioneering technology that the firm would follow in the future.
“Will we build a successor to the 918? Yes,” said Hatz. “Not immediately, but not in 20 years' time either.”
The Porsche 918 was launched at the same time as the LaFerrari and McLaren P1 hypercars. All 499 examples of LaFerrari sold out immediately, while all 375 McLaren P1s sold out a few months after the car’s launch.
