The new new Porsche Spyder RS in Carbon Steel Grey Metallic adding to the client’s collection. What do you think about this to add to the Audi RS6 Dad’s Mobile?
In the realm of high-performance roadsters, the Porsche 718 Spyder RS stands out as a true paragon of engineering prowess and driving bliss. This mid-engine marvel is poised to captivate the hearts and souls of enthusiasts seeking an unfiltered, visceral driving experience. Blending the iconic Boxster lineage with the formidable DNA of Porsche’s motorsport heritage, the 718 Spyder RS promises to redefine the boundaries of open-top exhilaration.
The 718 Spyder RS exudes a striking, performance-oriented aesthetic that is both visually captivating and meticulously engineered. Its sleek, streamlined silhouette is accentuated by a host of aerodynamic enhancements, including a pronounced front spoiler lip, CFRP fenders with functional louvers, and a fixed rear spoiler that ensures exceptional high-speed stability. The use of lightweight carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) throughout the body not only reduces weight but also enhances the vehicle’s overall agility and responsiveness.
At the heart of the 718 Spyder RS’s open-air experience is its innovative 2-piece manual lightweight roadster top. Weighing significantly less than the 718 Boxster’s convertible roof, this system can be completely removed, used as a canvas roof, or configured with a weather partition, offering unparalleled flexibility and a true sense of freedom.
The 718 Spyder RS’s design is not merely about aesthetics; it is a testament to Porsche’s relentless pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency. Strategically placed NACA air ducts, additional side air intakes, and a rear diffuser work in harmony to enhance airflow, improve brake cooling, and generate additional downforce for enhanced stability and grip.
Powering the 718 Spyder RS is a high-revving, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine derived directly from the legendary 911 GT3. Boasting an impressive 493 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, this powerplant is capable of reaching a thrilling 9,000 rpm redline, delivering a symphony of aural delights that will captivate the senses.
The 718 Spyder RS’s chassis and suspension components have been meticulously tuned for optimal track performance, yet they have been carefully adapted to provide an engaging and responsive driving experience on public roads. Featuring a Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, Porsche Stability Management (PSM), and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), the vehicle’s handling characteristics are nothing short of exceptional, allowing the driver to explore the limits with confidence.
Bringing this high-performance roadster to a halt are the impressive 6-piston and 4-piston aluminum monobloc fixed-caliper brakes (front and rear, respectively), which are paired with large cast-iron composite brake discs. For those seeking even greater stopping power, the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) provide uncompromising deceleration capabilities.
For the ultimate expression of the 718 Spyder RS’s racing pedigree, Porsche offers the exclusive Weissach Package. This meticulously crafted option enhances the vehicle’s performance and visual appeal with a host of carbon-fiber-reinforced elements, including the front trunk lid, side air intakes, and the upper portion of the exterior mirrors.
The Weissach Package also includes a titanium sport exhaust system, which not only reduces weight but also delivers a spine-tingling soundtrack that will captivate both the driver and onlookers. Complementing this aural delight are the optional 20-inch forged magnesium wheels, which contribute to a significant reduction in unsprung weight for even sharper handling dynamics.
The interior of the 718 Spyder RS with the Weissach Package further reinforces its motorsport heritage. Race-Tex microfiber accents, carbon-fiber-weave trim panels, and the ‘Weissach RS’ emblem embroidered on the headrests create a purposeful and immersive driving environment.
The 718 Spyder RS’s driving dynamics are the result of Porsche’s unwavering commitment to engineering excellence. From the high-revving naturally aspirated engine to the precisely tuned chassis and suspension, every component has been meticulously calibrated to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.
The 718 Spyder RS’s electromechanical power steering system provides exceptional feedback and responsiveness, allowing the driver to intuitively navigate even the most challenging roads. The vehicle’s well-balanced chassis and advanced traction control systems work in harmony to inspire confidence and encourage spirited driving.
The 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission in the 718 Spyder RS is a marvel of engineering, delivering lightning-fast gear changes and seamless power delivery. Whether shifting manually via the paddle shifters or leaving the transmission in automatic mode, the PDK ensures that every driving scenario is met with precise and exhilarating performance.
For added versatility and convenience, the 718 Spyder RS is equipped with a front axle lift system that can raise the ground clearance by up to one inch at speeds of up to 37 mph. This feature helps navigate speed bumps, steep driveways, and other obstacles with ease, ensuring that the driving experience remains uninterrupted.
The 718 Spyder RS’s cabin is a testament to Porsche’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. From the race-inspired steering wheel to the lightweight bucket seats, every element has been meticulously designed to enhance the driving experience while maintaining a high level of comfort and refinement.
The 718 Spyder RS’s interior is a harmonious blend of motorsport-inspired elements and luxurious appointments. The 718 RS-specific steering wheel, complete with a Yellow 12 o’clock marking, provides a direct and engaging interface between the driver and the vehicle. The Race-Tex microfiber material used on the steering wheel rim, PDK gear lever, and door opening loops offers exceptional grip and a sporty feel.
In the pursuit of weight savings and enhanced performance, the 718 Spyder RS features lightweight door panels, motorsport-inspired door opening loops, and minimalist storage nets instead of heavy compartments. These measures contribute to the vehicle’s agility and responsiveness without compromising the overall level of comfort and practicality.
Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur division offers a wide range of personalization options for the 718 Spyder RS, allowing owners to tailor the exterior and interior to their unique preferences. From custom paint finishes to bespoke interior trim and upholstery, the possibilities for creating a truly one-of-a-kind Spyder RS are virtually limitless.

Some may think the perk of buying a newer model allows you to skip the process of detailing a new car because it doesn’t seem necessary. That’s what every car salesperson will tell you when buying a new car. We’re sorry to burst your bubble, but every new car has flaws regardless of how expensive the brand is. If you’re wondering, “Should I detail a new car?” Check out the pictures below.
Removing paint imperfections using polish machines is the norm. Different polishing machines and techniques are used to bring out the color’s true shine and gloss. While customers frequently assume that the polishing technique is routine, each car is different and requires individualized attention. We have vast experience with a wide range of brands and an impressive portfolio of cars demonstrating the resulting perfection.
Our principle is “Less is More.” Contrast that with the marketing-driven message that “More is Better.” We operate differently and document your car’s journey in the shop. This is the best testimonial we can offer to our clients to prove that we are achieving the intended result within the established budget.
The work we’ve done on this particular GT4RS is different than others. Since this was a full car PPF project, we’ve taken the time to take things apart in order to have cleaner installs and to ensure wherever possible that the actual film is not even seen. Having said that, the front bumper came off, the headlights were out, all the aero components on the bumper also came off, the wing came out, the side carbon fiber air vents came off. Now this would be the easy ones, but in order to get clean installs on the doors, we took the window moldings off and the mirrors. Every screw was documented and we knew where everything went to be able to get everything back on the car, once the film installation was done.
Now one might ask, was it worth it? Without a shadow of doubt, YES! Why? Because we always want to improve and be better at what we’re doing and this GT4RS is a testament that we will never stop improving and that chasing perfection is part of our DNA.

The rubber trim has always been a sore spot for a lot of Porsche owners and we have applied another Kamikaze Collection blend to protect it for the years to come. The light tunnel came in handy and has shone the way (pun intended) for us to get all the rubber and plastic trims taken care of.
We’ve talked about the looks about the GT4RS, but let’s dive a bit into how it sounds. What we can say is the exhaust notes are distinguishable and make this car even more special. Now we cannot really translate that into anything discernible here. The one thing we can do is to make sure those special exhaust tips are getting their own share of attention.
