No word yet on how many cars Porsche plans to build, and although there are no UK prices yet, expect it to start around £130k when deliveries start in the summer after a Goodwood public debut. Research the 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder Roadster in Devon, PA at Maserati of The Main Line. ![]() ![]() The GT4 RS comes with the same looks as the Cayman below the open top, with plenty of aero going on, CFRP bonnet and wings, 20″ centre lock alloys, stiffer shocks, PASM, torque vectoring and diff lock.Ībove the waistline, there’s a pair of buttresses on the deck and a ducktail back wing and a lightweight manual soft-top, with weight saving including lightweight CFRP bucket seats in leather and microfibre, pull straps for the doors and even weight-reduced steering wheel. The 718 Spyder GT4 RS is the most powerful Boxster since it arrived in 1995, with the same 493bhp 4.0-litre flat-six which powers its sibling, redlining at 9000rpm with power going to the back wheels through a seven-speed PDK and hitting 62mph in 3.4 seconds. Now it’s time for its drop-top sibling to bid farewell too with the new 493bhp 718 Spyder GT4 RS. It’s no secret that Porsche is heading inexorably down the EV road, and we’re going to see electric 718 models cropping up at some point.īut ICE versions of the 718 models -Cayman and Boxster – as still very desirable, and in 2021 we saw peak 718 with the arrival of the Cayman GT4 RS. It's far more effective than the horn button, (which is also standard).The Porsche 718 Spyder GT4 RS arrives as a 493bhp drop-top swansong for Porsche’s mid-engined ICE Boxster. Press the Sport Response button on the steering wheel, and you'll get 20 seconds of warp speed. If the quicker launch times and an extra 8 lb-ft of torque aren't enough to get you into the PDK-equipped GTS 4.0, there is still one more thing, and it's a button. Likewise, feeling those extra 8 lb-ft of torque is easier on paper than, say, when pulling a boat with your Cayman - something with which all Cayman owners are familiar, we're sure. So in real-world driving, such as to Costco to buy some kind of item that will actually fit into the Cayman (two sandwiches and a $5 rotisserie chicken, really), the difference may not be all that profound. always mash the accelerator pedal from a complete stop with stopwatch in hand. Now, we can hear some of you asking "Just how noticeable will this half-second advantage be in the real world over a manual transmission?" Indeed, feeling the difference between a 4.2-second launch and a 3.7 second launch requires one to. The 718 Boxster and Cayman GTS 4.0, meanwhile, will be able to make this sprint in 3.8 seconds, down from 4.3 seconds. ![]() When it comes launch times - arguably the bigger selling point - the PDK-equipped 718 Spyder and Cayman GT4 will be able to sprint from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds, down from 4.2 seconds. For the GTS 4.0, the output tallies up to 394 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. In the case of the 718 GT4 and Spyder, this means 414 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, courtesy of its 4.0-liter flat-six. And when it comes to torque, the DCT will be able to cope with a little more than the six-speed manual. That's because no matter how quick you are with a six-speed manual - and it is a good six-speed manual in these cars - the DCT will still be faster than you all while keeping the flat-six engine in its rev sweet spot. That's right: the 718 Spyder, 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 GTS 4.0 are getting Porsche's dual-clutch transmission for 2021, and across the board this mean an appetizer of 8 lb-ft more torque and a main course of launch times that'll be half a second quicker.
