Roadster origins for the porsche 718 spyder rs

500 hp throb beneath the hood, attaining 0-100/h in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 308 km/h. A pure 2-seater GT, a roadster with a mid-engine flyline, oblivious to compromise.

Its on-road driving experience could well be mistaken for that of a racing model. The typical roofline complements the characteristic rear streamliners, fixed spoilers and security roll bars. The car’s structure is lighter thanks to the use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic and a removable hood entirely in black or with red or grey piping, as desired. With the top removed, the car loses 15 kg on the scales.

The 4.0 litre 6-cylinder engine has been borrowed from the 911 GT3, while the chassis of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS has been upgraded to correspond to the global concept of the 718 Spyder RS. Which owes its aerodynamic silhouette to the front spoiler lip, with additional spoilers in front of the wheel arch housings and at the entrance to the central air intake. The 20-inch sports tyres are sized for performance.

The 718 Spyder RS promises high performance, open to the sky.
