30 years since the introduction of the Boxster concept, Porsche presents the most powerful version of this famous mid-engined open top: the new Porsche 718 Spyder RS. In essence, the 718 Spyder RS can be considered as the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, but with an open top. The car is also equipped with the same engine as the Porsche 911 GT3, with powerful performance and redline levels up to 9,000 rpm creating extremely exciting sounds.Combined with a 7-speed PDK transmission, the two-seat roadster can accelerate from 0-100 km / h in just 3.2 seconds. The steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters offer greater control as the driver doesn’t need to take his hands off the wheel, but the ergonomically designed gear lever on the center console is ready at all times.The front end of the new Porsche 718 Spyder RS has a design quite similar to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The bonnet is made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP and has wide air vents above the bumper. Two NACA ducts enhance brake cooling without affecting drag coefficient. Windshields at the outer ends of the bumper contribute to downforce.Compared to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS equipped with a large rear wing, the 718 Spyder RS cannot do the same because it is not suitable for the convertible driving experience. Instead, this model is designed with a ducktail rear spoiler quite similar to the 718 Spyder but larger and with a slightly modified shape. All aerodynamic components are coordinated to maintain balance and contribute to high driving stability.The car’s soft top is light in weight and can only be disassembled by hand. It actually consists of two parts that can be separated from each other: the sunshade cloth above the head and the windshield at the back of the neck. Both can be used individually, depending on preference and easily stowed behind the seat when not needed.This special roof structure has a mass of 18.3 kg, which is 7.6 kg lighter than the one used for the 718 Spyder and even up to 16.5 kg in weight compared to the electric roof of the 718 Boxster. standard. The cloth roof alone weighs 8 kg, so if the driver wants to make his car lighter and make sure it doesn’t rain that day, he can leave it at home.The chassis of the 718 Spyder RS uses a combination of parts from the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder. The PASM active suspension is fitted as standard with sport correction and has been lowered by 30 mm. There’s also the PTV Torque Vectoring Control System with a mechanical rear-wheel differential, articulated suspension bearings, and 20-inch forged alloy wheels.The interior of the car also shows a sporty style when retaining only the most essential components. The GT sports steering wheel is wrapped in Race-Tex fabric and marked in yellow at 12 o’clock. The car comes standard with body-hugging sports seats made of ultralight CFRP material and black leather upholstery, with Race-Tex fabric backrests in Arctic Gray or Carmine Red.
