It’s a recipe with almost limitless appeal: just two seats, a modest kerb weight, rear-wheel drive and a naturally aspirated engine. Plus, of course, a manual gearbox.
The 718 Spyder is basically a more voluptuous, convertible version of the 718 Cayman GT4. Beneath its beautiful skin it has the same 414bhp 4. 0-litre flat six 992-based engine that revs to 8000rpm, same six-speed manual gearbox with auto blip on the downshifts and, most important of all, exactly the same GT3-inspired chassis, suspension, steering and brakes.
The only real difference between the Spyder and GT4 is the aerodynamic package. On aesthetic grounds Porsche decided not to fit the Spyder with a big rear wing and instead went for a smaller wing that retracts back into the rear bodywork at low speeds.
Whilst it generates less downforce, the flip side is that the Spyder looks drop dead gorgeous the convertible allows you to engage with the elements that much more viscerally. It also means you can hear the flat six more clearly on the move, which is a pleasure never to be underestimated.
