718 Spyder RS highlights.

Porsche 718 Spyder RS in Vanadium Grey Metallic, shown from the side / flyline clearly visible in profile.

Design.

Additional air inlets, louvers, increased downforce: the 718 Spyder RS evokes a storm of enthusiasm – also thanks to the typical mid-engine flyline and the characteristic streamliners.

Lightweight construction.

Reduced weight – more dynamics: lightweight construction measures such as the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) ensure a significant weight advantage. In the center: the removable lightweight roof.

High-revving naturally aspirated engine.

9,000 rpm, high agility and an incredible sound: the 4.0-liter, 6-cylinder boxer, high-revving naturally aspirating engine was derived directly from the 911 GT3.

RS chassis.

Developed for tracks – tailored to winding mountain passes: the high-precision 718 Cayman GT4 RS chassis has been ideally adapted to the overall concept of the 718 Spyder RS.

Interior.

In the cabin, everything is focused on the essentials: open-top driving pleasure with a motorsports character – from the 718 RS-specific steering wheel with 12 o'clock marking to the three round instruments and the door opening loops.

Weissach package.

Weissach. Birthplace of the Porsche GT vehicles. The Weissach package underscores this origin with numerous features in carbon fiber finish and the 'Weissach RS' logo as a typical signature.

Chronograph 718 Spyder RS.

The design details of the Chronograph 718 Spyder RS are perfectly matched to its motorized role model. Exclusively for owners of the 718 Spyder RS.

Weissach package.

Detailed view of the 'Weissach RS' emblem on the Porsche 718 Spyder RS.

The name is the game.

Weissach. The workplace of our engineers. It's no wonder that the optional Weissach Package specially developed for the 718 Spyder RS was given this name. The signature in the form of the 'Weissach RS' emblem can be found on the cover of the cup holder, as stitching on the headrests and embossed on the lightweight roadster top.

Exterior elements in carbon fiber finish.

The consistent use of the carbon fiber finish sharpens the design of the 718 Spyder RS even more – from the front lid and the top half of the exterior mirrors, the side blades and process air intakes behind the driver and front passenger, to the upper part of the housing of the third brake light. The cover on the roll-over bar and the aerodynamic Gurney flap on the rear spoiler – also in carbon fiber finish – dynamically round off the consistent fine tuning.
View of the roof of the Porsche 718 Spyder RS in Vanadium Grey Metallic.

Roof with signature.

The 718 Spyder RS can cope with any conditions – rain or cold – even when driving with the roof down. The sight of the flat silhouette with the Weissach Package emblem embossed on the lightweight roadster top is now even more exciting than it already was.

Titanium tailpipes.

The two separate tailpipes produce a sound that is guaranteed to make you smile and gets deep under your skin. The look of the Titanium tailpipes is inspired by the limited edition 935 Motorsport production run from 2018, a tribute to the legendary 935/78 Le Mans racing car.

Interior with Weissach emblem.

In combination with the Weissach Package, the upper part of the dashboard is also covered with Race-Tex, which has been tried and tested on the track, rounding off the decidedly puristic, sporty interior all while minimizing reflections in the windshield. The embroidered Weissach Package emblem on the headrests and the badge on the trim panel of the dashboard provide a clear indication of the origin.

Performance.

That most exciting combination of a storm and daring to go forward: chassis elements tried and tested on the race track, the GT4 RS engine – the 718 Spyder RS brings its untamed power to the road without compromise. Corner after corner. Goosebump after goosebump.

Graphic of the engine in the Porsche 718 Spyder RS.

High-revving naturally aspirated engine.

The GT4 RS engine in a roadster: 493 hp, max. torque 331 lb-ft. The 4.0-liter, 6-cylinder boxer, high-revving, natural aspirating engine with a maximum of 9,000 rpm is by far the most powerful in the 718 model range.
Porsche 718 Spyder RS in Vanadium Grey Metallic.

Engine technology derived from motorsports.

6 individual throttle valves supply the 6 cylinders with air optimally for direct responsiveness and excellent dosing of the engine. It is powerful and robust thanks to a central oil feed, forged pistons and lightweight titanium con rods.

Transmission.

The shifts of the performance-oriented 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) are fast and emotive. Even the 7th gear has a short, sporty response. The mechanical locking differential ensures optimal power transmission.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).

The PTV improves the driving dynamics. The integrated mechanical rear differential lock enables higher traction and significantly improved lateral dynamics and driving stability during load changes in corners and when changing lanes.

Chassis with GT technology.

Precise handling for winding mountain passes: lightweight suspension strut axles, taut springs and helper springs, in combination with specific wheel mounts, helps to ensure high traction and stability. Ball joints allow particularly precise wheel guidance.
Graphic of the PASM in the Porsche 718 Spyder RS.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM, –30 mm).

The electronic adjustment of the damping control system actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style. The PASM has two settings: sporty-comfortable and sporty-firm.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).

PSM is an automatic control system for maintaining stability at the limits of dynamic driving performance. The systems can be switched off completely in two stages.

Front axle lift system.

One inch may not sound like much, but it makes a decisive difference at speeds of up to around 37 mph thanks to the increased ground clearance.

Deceleration in RS style.

The 718 Spyder RS slows down impressively quickly thanks to the 6 and 4-piston aluminum monobloc fixed caliper brakes (front/rear) with Red brake calipers, large cast iron composite brake discs and efficient brake ventilation and cooling.
Detailed view of the front wheel and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) on the Porsche 718 Spyder RS.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) enables high braking performance and constant braking pressure. The weight of the brake discs is approx. 50% lower than cast iron brake discs of comparable design and dimensions.

Goosebumps guaranteed. In your ears.

Experience a symphony titled '9,000 revolutions'.
