Acid green seat belts? Anything (kind of) goes on the Porsche 918 Spyder configurator

Would you have the seat belts accented with ‘acid green’ or with ‘orange?’

That’s the dilemma facing prospective Porsche 918 Spyder buyers this morning as they paw through the online configurator that recently went live on Porsche’s website.

The Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid supercar might cost you a cool $845,000, but for that price you get 887 horsepower, 85 mpg, 0-62 mph time in 2.8 seconds, and the 11 different exterior paint colors to choose from.

Dig into the options and you’ll find that Porsche offers a series of disparate optional extras in one concise list, including a cup holder, sport seats with firmer padding, and a fire extinguisher – to name a few.

Interior colors include black with acid green accents, black with gray accents, and burgundy with gray accents. We thought a red interior was illegal in Stuttgart. Go figure.

Regardless of interior trim color; the 918 Spyder will lap the Nurburgring in a hugely impressive six minutes and 57 seconds.

What options did we choose? We went for the Sapphire Metallic Blue with the red interior with orange accents on the seatbelts and floor mats and the Platinum Silk Gloss wheels. We also checked the box for a cup holder and a fire extinguisher.

Look through the configurator yourself and tell us how you’d spec your Porsche 918 Spyder in the comment section below.

The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
