About the Porsche 718 Spyder RS 982
The 718 Spyder RS serves as the final internal combustion send-off for Porsche's mid-engined roadster, borrowing the 9,000-rpm flat-six from the 911 GT3. Unlike the track-focused Cayman GT4 RS, the Spyder RS features a chassis tuned specifically for the road, offering a more compliant ride without sacrificing precision. Its most distinctive feature is the lightweight, two-part manual 'bikini' top and carbon-fibre air intakes positioned directly behind the occupants' heads, which amplify the engine's induction roar. It represents the pinnacle of the 982 generation, combining motorsport-derived performance with an unfiltered open-air experience.
