According to the driver’s statement, the accelerator pedal of his Porsche 918 Spyder got stuck, causing a collision with a Volkswagen that was stopped at a red light.
Over the weekend, a Porsche 918 Spyder was involved in a serious accident in New York City, USA. Images of the aftermath of the collision of the million-dollar supercar quickly spread, causing a buzz on social media.
According to reports, the accident occurred around 2:30 pm on Richmond Road near Hunter Avenue on Staten Island. The Porsche 918 Spyder was approaching a red light at a speed of about 57 km/h and trying to slow down. However, it seems that the brakes of the car were not working.

One of the passengers in the car added that the driver had tried to brake as hard as possible, but the Porsche 918 Spyder could not stop. In order to avoid colliding with other vehicles that were stopped at the red light, the driver swerved onto the shoulder of the road, causing the car to crash into a bus stop sign.
However, the driver of the Porsche 918 Spyder gave a different statement to the police. According to the driver, the car’s brake pedal got stuck, causing the Porsche 918 Spyder to collide with a Volkswagen that was stopped at a red light. The impact was strong, causing severe damage to the front of the car, with the front bumper deformed. Furthermore, the front passenger side wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder, which was made by BBS from magnesium alloy, broke off from the front axle. Meanwhile, the rear of the car seems to have no damage. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the accident.
The Porsche 918 Spyder made its global debut in 2013 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. With a limited production of 918 cars worldwide, this hypercar sold out quickly in December 2014 and production ended in June 2015.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is equipped with a 4.6L naturally aspirated V8 engine combined with two electric motors, resulting in a power output of 886 horsepower and 1,245 Nm of torque. Thanks to this power, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 340 km/h.
Providing energy to the two electric motors is a 6.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This battery pack can be fully charged in about 30 minutes using a dedicated charging station and about two hours when using home electricity. In pure electric mode (without using the combustion engine), the 918 Spyder has an operating range of about 30 km with a maximum speed of 150 km/h.
