Perfectly Irrational.
A firebrand. A go-getter. Aiming for the skies. The 718 Spyder is an exclamation mark in a world full of 'what ifs'. A roadster like no other. Without compromise. Without regrets. Without rational arguments.
With a high-agility, mid-engined concept that will bring tears of joy to the eyes of all sports car fans. With a lightweight hood, six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, sports suspension and door pull loops – essentially everything your everyday life doesn't need, but your heart yearns for.
Even closer to the road: the front apron with prominent front spoiler lip and 'Spyder' logo.
Unmistakable: the typical mid-engine flyline.
Lightweight hood and streamliner.
Performance-oriented: rear spoiler and diffuser.
360° Exterior.
An open 718 with 4.0-litre naturally aspirated engine: sounds crazy. And insanely sporty.
Adaptive GT sports suspension with GT brakes.
