In this video, Doug DeMuro takes us through the exhilarating world of the 2024 Porsche 718 Spider RS, a convertible beast that will set you back around $200,000. This high-performance machine is essentially the drop-top sibling of the Cayman GT4 RS, boasting a mighty 4.0L naturally aspirated Flat 6 engine straight out of the 911 GT3. With 495 horsepower, 330 lb-ft of torque, and a blistering 0 to 60 time of just 3 seconds, this car means serious business on the road.
While the Spider RS shares its powertrain with the GT4 RS, it offers a more refined driving experience with a softer suspension setup, making it suitable for daily driving. Aerodynamically, it ditches the massive wing of the GT4 RS for a more subtle ductail spoiler, ensuring a sleek and stylish appearance. However, the most intriguing aspect of this car is its convertible top operation, which involves a series of manual steps that are both complex and unique, adding to the car's charm.
Inside, the Spider RS is a blend of luxury and performance, featuring Alcantara and carbon fiber accents throughout the cabin. The array of performance buttons in the center console allows drivers to fine-tune their driving experience, from sport suspension to sport exhaust modes. Despite its track-oriented nature, the Spider RS doesn't compromise on practicality, offering ample storage options and a glove box for everyday usability. Overall, the Porsche 718 Spider RS is a thrilling combination of power, style, and functionality, making it a standout contender in the high-performance sports car segment.
