Peacocks are blessed with extravagant beauty ... but not so much with warm touchy-feelies. They are quite testy and aggressive and seem to treat the rest of the world as competition for mating precedence - even humans.

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder
$1,900,000 - $2,200,000 USD | Not Sold
o Number 834 of only 918 examples produced
o Scarcely used and uniquely specified, displaying just 2,095 mi. at time of cataloguing
o Extravagantly finished in White with matching roof over custom-tailored, leather-to-sample Garnet Red and Bianco Leda upholstery with Garnet Red piping
o Desirably equipped with front-axle lift system, carbon-fiber interior package, carbon-fiber-style floor mats with silver piping, glare reduction package, HomeLink, and extended charging cable
o Fully wrapped in paint protection film
To say that expectations for the Porsche 918 Spyder ran high would be a massive understatement. Not only was it a follow-up to the storied Porsche Carrera GT, but it also squared off directly against McLaren’s P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari. All three contemporary hypercars made use of the latest advanced hybrid-electric powertrain technology, however the 918 Spyder was perhaps less of a hard-edged track weapon, instead focusing on impeccable build quality and true everyday useability. Additionally, it boasted the furthest electric-only range, lowest carbon dioxide emissions, and lowest fuel consumption when compared to its competition.
Of course, none of this came at the cost of mind-bending performance. Cradled in a chassis constructed almost entirely of carbon fiber-reinforced composite, is a 90-degree V-8 based upon that found in Porsche RS Spyder LMP2 Le Mans prototype. Thanks to its flat-plane crankshaft, titanium connecting rods, 32-valve cylinder head, and dry-sump lubrication, it revs to an ear-piercing 9,000 rpm and delivers 608 horsepower, which equates to an incredible 133 horsepower per liter of displacement. Add the pair of electric motors, and the 918 Spyder’s total output is an astonishing 887 horsepower and 994 pound-feet of torque.
Porsche’s superb PDK seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission manages the power, with delivery further refined through five driving modes, ranging from full electric to “Hot Lap,” which uses every ounce of available performance from the powertrain. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph can be achieved in under 2.5 seconds—faster than both the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari—leading toward a top speed of 211 mph.
The 918 Spyder’s brakes are as mighty as its incredible powertrain. Massive carbon-ceramic discs feature six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear. Assisting the car’s handling and downforce are a handful of active aerodynamic features, including an adjustable rear wing, a pair of under-floor flaps in the nose, and further adjustable flaps in the headlamp area.
The 918 Spyder’s performance specifications were impressive when new, and they remain so today. It is worth noting, however, that in the intervening years, of Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren, only Porsche has launched a fully electric road car—the highly successful Taycan—underscoring the 918 Spyder’s crucial role as a bridge between the internal combustion-powered past and the unfolding electric future.
918 SPYDER SERIAL NUMBER 834
This extravagantly tailored 918 Spyder, serial number 834, was delivered new to its first owner via Pepe Porsche of White Plains, New York—now Porsche Larchmont—in August 2015. At the forefront of its entirely unique specification is the stunning color combination of White (LC9A) paintwork and a matching roof panel over a custom-tailored, leather-to-sample interior rendered in Bianco Leda and Garnet Red upholstery. Nearly every detail within the richly appointed cabin has been trimmed to the precise wishes of its original owner. Garnet Red piping weaves its way around the perimeter of the lightweight carbon-fiber bucket seats. This aesthetic is reversed—to a tremendously pleasing effect—upon the door cards and dashboard, where Garnet Red leather panels are surged with Bianco Leda piping. The envy-inducing cockpit is further enhanced with the desirable carbon-fiber interior package.
To make daily driving less stressful, the car was equipped from the factory with the optional front-axle lift system, which helps negotiate speed bumps and inclines, as well as HomeLink to ease garage entry, and a 25-foot extended cable for added convenience when charging the 6.8 kilowatt-hour battery.
Believed to have had just three owners from new, this scarcely driven 918 Spyder shows just 2,095 miles at the time of cataloguing. Professionally applied paint protection film was professionally applied to the car's entire body to preserve its beautiful finish. Thanks to this precautionary step, and given the car’s very modest use, this well-equipped and superbly specified example in wonderful colors remains in stellar condition, giving its next owner the chance to enjoy the closest thing to an as-new 918 Spyder as is likely possible today.
With hybrid and electric vehicles gaining ever greater acceptance, the 918 Spyder stands as testament to Porsche’s forward-thinking engineering expertise that has driven it to continually innovative and so become an industry leader in the electrification of the automobile. Lessons learned from the 918 have already trickled down to other models, such as the popular Cayenne and Panamera hybrids, and even the all-electric Taycan.
Its impact on the future of automobiles aside, the 918 Spyder simply remains an utter thrill to drive and to behold. For years to come, it will be fondly remembered as Porsche’s bright outlook on the future, showing that performance and efficiency can beautifully combine to create a truly mesmerizing automobile.

The fancy dress competition for KG I and KG II students was conducted in
an extravagant manner in the Primary School Auditorium on 17 th
September 2022. It was presided over by our Vice Principal. Under the
guidance of our Coordinator and class teacher the event was well
organized and presented.
It was a pleasure to watch our little ones dressed up as different
characters and speak confidently.
The objective was helping the students of Kindergarten to overcome stage
fear, bring out their inner talent, to give them a platform to build their
confidence and explore their potential.
The program started with class KG II A and ended with KG I C. There was
a lot of enthusiasm and excitement as the little ones walked forward in their
vibrant costumes. The spectators were mesmerized to see the little ones
take the stage in their stride.
A total of 95 participants from both KG I and KG II enthralled the audience
with their costumes and props. They were rockets, rainbows, fruits and
vegetables, cartoon characters and social messages conveyed beautifully
and articulately.
All the participants were called up on stage, class wise and chocolates
were distributed as a token of appreciation for their participation, before the
result was announced. The competition brought about an amiable
ambience as each participant waited for their turn and applauded the
efforts of others. A memorable day indeed!

"The extravagant gesture is the very stuff of creation. After one extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, flinging intricacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping profusions on profligacies with fresh vigor. The whole show has been on fire since the word go."
- Annie Dillard
