The 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS, furnished with a 4.0-litre as-expected aspirated boxer six-cylinder engine, provides an invigorating driving experience.
Its engine roars to a stunning 9,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), generating 493 horsepower driving force and 331 pound-feet of rotational force.
The Spyder RS's one-of-a-kind positioning of air intakes near the ears, coupled with the raw, stimulating sound of the engine, generates a remarkable and engaging driving feeling.
The Spyder RS is different from the Cayman GT4 RS, presenting a more multipurpose experience with its detachable roof options.
The engine is shared with the GT4 RS and the 911 GT3 Cup racing car, making it a potent powerhouse. Although there's no manual gearbox option, the seven-speed PDK automatic masterfully handles shifts, and the paddle shifters give a touch of engagement.
With a slightly softer suspension setup compared to the GT4 RS, the Spyder RS is designed to offer a more grand-touring-like sensation. Despite its sporty nature, the Spyder RS's ride can feel solid on rough terrain.
Porsche's focus on weight trimming, including carbon fibre exterior panels and a unique lightweight roof, contributes to the car's nimbleness.
The 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS promises a memorable driving experience, alluring enthusiasts looking for the perfect harmony of power, sound, and performance in the drive. Its price is expected to be $160,700.
