The Porsche 718 Spyder RS is, in essence, a Cayman GT4 RS sans its roof. In lieu of the roof, you'll find a detachable, manually operated fabric canopy. Together, the single-layer sun shield and wind barrier weigh a mere 40.3 pounds (18.3 kg), rendering it 16.7 lbs (7.6 kg) lighter than the 718 Spyder and 36.3 lbs (16.5 kg) lighter than the 718 Boxster. • When it comes to mass, the novel 718 Spyder RS clocks in at 3,108 lbs (1,410 kg), shedding 88 lbs (40 kg) compared to the non-RS version. Barring the roof, its resemblance to the coupe sibling is striking. This final 718 boasting a combustion engine is lowered by 1.18 inches (30 mm) and perched on 20-inch forged wheels, with optional magnesium replacements available. • Porsche clarifies that the Spyder RS isn't an exact replica of the Cayman GT4 RS, as it sports unique tuning for its springs and dampers. This results in a smoother, more comfortable ride that satisfies convertible enthusiasts. The mid-engined marvel can be ordered with a Weissach Package, featuring exhaust tips inspired by the 2018 935—a homage to the legendary 935/78 Le Mans race car. • Sharing the Cayman's crown jewel, the convertible counterpart utilizes the same 4.0-liter, naturally aspirated engine borrowed from the 911 GT3. This powerhouse generates 493 horsepower and 331 pound-feet (450 Newton-meters) of torque, channeled to the rear axle via a seven-speed PDK. This pairing enables a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint in 3.4 seconds and a 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) dash in 10.9 seconds, mirroring the Cayman GT4 RS. The Spyder RS can reach a top speed of 191 mph (308 km/h), just 4 mph (7 km/h) shy of the coupe. • Available for order in Germany with a starting price of €151,215, the Porsche 718 Spyder RS will also be offered to American customers at $160,700, plus a $1,450 delivery fee. For the ultimate 718 experience, buyers can acquire a complementary timepiece housed in a titanium case. The car's public unveiling is scheduled for the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, with deliveries slated to begin simultaneously. • #Porsche718SpyderRS #ConvertibleThrill #SportsCarReimagined • Get More Great Car Videos - Subscribe: https://goo.gl/BSIaFc
