The rear axle has less tendency to bounce over a quick succession of bumps and the whole car feels like it’s better able to keep all four tyres in contact with an imperfect road surface. As you’d expect, the ride quality is also improved as a result and help make the Spyder RS a passable cruiser. The flipside to this improved compliancy is that the chassis isn’tas razor sharp as the Cayman GT4 RS, but the difference – especially on road – is incredibly subtle.
However, on the other it’s technically very impressive and allows you to experience a Porsche RS model sans roof. And since this is the last Boxster with a petrol engine, part of the appeal – the sound – may well be about to disappear for good.For those who’ve experienced the Cayman GT4 RS drive by, the removable roof poses a significant question as, outside the car, the noise levels are very similar to a regular GT4.
