STUTTGART, GERMANY - Porsche has announced the arrival of the 718 Spyder RS, the open-top counterpart to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and the most powerful version of the 718 Roadster to date. Driving the 718 Spyder RS is a powertrain identical to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS coupe, a six-cylinder boxer engine with an output of 493hp and 450Nm of torque.
The distinctive engine takes the roadster from 0-100km/h in 3.4 seconds, with the car hitting the 200km/h mark in 10.9 seconds. The top speed in the Spyder RS is also now 308km/h, helped along by the Porsche dual clutch transmission . Gearshift paddles are also available, allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel when shifting manually.
The chassis of the Spyder RS utilises components from the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, and comes with Porsche Active Suspension Management as standard, along with sports tuning. The car has also been lowered by 30mm, and features Porsche Torque Vectoring with mechanical limited-slip differential. Additionally, spring and damper rates have been reduced for a more relaxed, convertible-style set-up in comparison to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
To add to the aerodynamic performance of the Spyder RS, the entire roof weighs 18.3kg together with mechanical parts. This comes in at 7.6kg less than the 718 Spyder, and 16.5kg less than the 718 Boxster. Completely taking the top off shaves 8kg off the entire weight of the vehicle, for extra agility.
