The new Spyder RS might be the finest roadster Porsche will ever build.
The 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS is a fitting last hurrah for the internal combustion engine in the German automaker's mid-engine sports car platform, Preuninger said with a smile on his face and sadness in his eyes."Building light and powerful roadsters is what Porsche has done from day one," he said,"and we chose the best engine we think we have for the ultimate roadster."
The softer suspension dictated minor changes to the steering setup, as well."Steering is very much influenced by the stiffness of the springs," said Preuninger, who explained the Spyder RS' setup is meant to feel"less darty" than the GT4 RS' the moment you pull the steering wheel off center."We have tried to make it as linear as possible," he said.
The PDK gearbox's rapidfire response means it's easy to keep the engine in its happy place, and with that 9,000-rpm redline, this Porsche roadster has a vivid 5,000-rpm powerband to work with.
