Is the Porsche Spyder RS the best car the Porsche make ? It is certainly up there with it's GT3 engine, 500 horsepower, 9000rpm redline, beautiful styling and the best sound track of any Porsche I've driven ! The only thing that was putting me off was the canvas roof. Turns out that isn't too bad either !

A fun and very welcome review, but what you left out...the roof isn't for weight savings...that is the PR version of the answer. The real reason is neither the regular spyder roof, much less the powered roof, fit on top of the GT3 motor intakes. There is no room. This roof is a matter of necessity, not weight savings. (unless you're going to do a full targa / mc20 kind of deal). As Farrah said…”if you can’t fix it, feature it.”.

@gaad 4 месяца назад

This car wasn't even going to have a roof in the first place. At any time this car should be roofless.

@PeterKirton-nu9iv 4 месяца назад

The faffing about with the roof is reminiscent of my first mark 1 Lotus Elise

@edwowen 4 месяца назад

I think my Caterham was easier! Reminds me of I think Clarkson on the mk1 elise... "Which type of fastenings should we use? All of them".

@1957robertjohnson 4 месяца назад

Lol. The Spyder RS roof is even worse than the Spyder roof. The car has attributes that a collector would find desirable. For the rest of us the GTS 4.0 is the car to buy.

@barrondeville1866 4 месяца назад

That roof would be an absolute nightmare to put back on in a rainstorm not to mention those red tabs can be pulled on a parked car. What I mean by a rainstorm is when the rain is just pelting down and it being windy as hell that you can barely hold onto the fabric top trying to put in place. The Lotus Elise top was easier to put on because it was a much smaller roof but when the wind was really blowing it was virtually impossible to put on without it being blown out of your hands.

@riggs1590 4 месяца назад

It's not. Pete did it a bit wrong, but it is very easy once youve done it a few times. Not as quick and an electric roof granted, but it's a Spyder not a convertible.

@gaad 4 месяца назад

It's a spyder not even suppose to have any type of roof.

@femiomomo4467 3 месяца назад

It's different here in Spain it's when leaving a roofless car in the sun, because the seats get so hot in the you can't sit on them. So when parked I would put the roof on, or park in the shade or multi storey car park. "Third world issues I guess" 😊

@MrRoyck10 4 месяца назад

The intro reinforces the point that a sports car MUST evoke emotion as eloquently said by Enzo Ferrari. The Spyder is a very rare gem, that box engine sounds absolutely manic on full load, but the lack of manual gearbox will certainly reduce the driver involvement especially with a redundant left leg. Amazing video Pete, keep it locked on Porsche contents.

@PetrolPed 4 месяца назад

I’m a die hard manual guy, but I have to admit there’s no way you’d get those f1 style rapid fire down shifts with a manual. That is an aural ear gasm. :) Some serious emotion to be had there.

Other roofs won’t fit; weight has nothing to do with the reality of the choice. You want to lose that gorgeous clam shell or the gt3 motor? Which are you going to sacrifice? Unless you want a full mechanized targa setup and lose the rear boot.

@andypalin3287 4 месяца назад

@edwowen 4 месяца назад

Great vid as always Ped. Full disclouse: Owner of "normal" 2021 718 Spyder. As a weekend fun car, it has to be manual for me. I find this car very fussy visually carbon bonnet just looks chav, and the roof is just an utter nonsense - makes the standard car look positively practical! And dont start me on centre locks - stranded if you get a puncture as most tyre places cant get them off, they dont save weight and they go milky if you even so much as show them wheel cleaning products (that cost my supplying dealer £1k for a set on a lighly used 911). These are unobtainium so its a moot point, but I genuinely wouldnt pay extra for this. Just MVHO.

Quid Pro Quo Car - “something for something”. It’s compromised. I get that amazing 4.0 litre but lose the 3rd pedal. Got offered an allocation for one on Friday. They wanted my 718 Spyder in a trade. Can’t do it - love the manual. Rare. NASP ME Manual and a drop top. Almost impossible combo to find. It will be a keeper. But SRS is a brilliant car. If mine was a PDK and I could live with that I would do the deal.

@subarujock 4 месяца назад

As soon as I set eyes on the Cayman RS I thought that was for me. Despite emailing many dealers I could not find a build slot and now I know exacrly why. I had the exact same replys from the dealers when i tried to get a build slot for a GT3. Fantastic cars but I work way too hard for my money to be paying overs. The tactics by Porsche have completely driven me away from the brand. I'll happily spend my hard earned £150k on another brand. Keep up the good work Petrol Ped. I work overseas and your content passes many hours.

@jandejong8209 4 месяца назад

First, i like to start with the fact that i cant afford a spyder rs, but i can afford a regular Boxster and a few weeks ago i purchased a 3000 mile 2022 Boxster 25 year anniversary edition and i am thrilled with the car. Haven’t driven it yet with the top down (canadian winters) prevent that, but running the car thru the gears is epic and it has an automatic roof. The flat 6, four litre engine sounds amazing, especially above 4000 rpm with the sport exhaust turned on. Although I have never been in a spyder rs, i imagine it is my car multiplied by 2.Anyway, great review Pete!

Hi Ped This is one review that did not disappoint 🤭 What a car, and that soundtrack WOW. Now let’s back to earth, this car is heading into crazy price bracket, so beyond my means. Personally I think the PDK box is an ideal if only choice for this engine. The hood would be a deal breaker unless it fitted into a larger car collection and only came out for track days or guaranteed sunshine. I feel the GTS or 25th Anniversary car represents good value to those with lesser funds.😉

@PetrolPed 4 месяца назад

@ferdinandbardamu3945 4 месяца назад

The Boxster GTS 4.0 is the real deal. Spruce that up with smaller, lighter 18”-19” wheels, better brake pads, Ohlins suspension and Kline exhaust and you’re driving the actual best 718.

This is “the toy” … the car you look for a sunny day in back roads. I will take the 2 minutes to put the roof up/down, it doesn’t matter it is part of the experience in this car, you can buy 100 of cars with automatic roof. This is not a daily car (buy a regular boxster), it is like your best food/drink you enjoy in special occasions. Who buy this car have other cars to daily drive. I had a 718 Spyder for almost 3 years and getting my Spyder RS in June, I enjoyed every minute I put the roof down on every drive, this is such a special car and one of the most nicest Porsche designs, that finally gets the right engine.
