If you have ever been curious to discover the process of how the Porsche 918 Spyder is made, this latest video carefully details the individual steps taken on Porsche’s hand-assembly line. Compiled as a series of ground level and aerial pans, what is immediately striking is the sheer level of workshop organization and clearly meticulous attitude of each and every employee, resembling somewhat of a mobile art installation rather than the dark workshop you might have expected to see. Showing the careful construction of the 918 Spyder’s components, the video includes an insight into the car’s hand-stitched leather interior, carbon fiber door paneling, and the hand-assembled normally aspirated 4.6 liter V8 engine. Each Porsche 918 Spyder is individually numbered with attention given to the most minute factors ensuring that it stands head and shoulders above the competition — as well as justifying its hefty price tag that can sit anywhere upwards of $845,000 USD. Check out the full video above for more information.
