Well, well.
It looks like Porsche may have the final iteration of the infamous 918 Spyder completed. At least, we think.
A recent video popping up on YouTube seems to show a 918 Spyder and the 918 RSR concept in a warehouse-like, studio setting with a small number of folks surrounding it, sipping some bubbly.
It's clear it's an invitation-only event but the biggest question remains: Is THIS the final version or is it just the concept slightly retweaked from its Pebble Beach debut?
I'll put MY money on the latter.
