The front end of the RS closely resembles the GT4 RS, albeit with a slightly shorter carbonfibre-reinforced plastic splitter to compensate for the lack of a rear wing. Instead, an enlarged and reshaped ducktail spoiler provides rear downforce. For those seeking further weight savings, the optional Weissach package is available. It includes carbon-fibre replacements for the front hood, door mirror caps, upper and lower side air intakes, and the Gurney flap on the ducktail. The Weissach package also offers a titanium exhaust system inspired by the limited-edition 935 from 2018.

As an RS model, weight reduction was a top priority for Porsche. The interior handles have been replaced with fabric door straps, and when the weather allows for open-top driving, the soft top must be manually lowered. In such cases, the driver must exit the vehicle and secure the top in place. The entire soft top weighs just over 18 kilograms, shedding 7 kilograms compared to the standard Spyder.

The Porsche 2024 718 Spyder RS is a heavyweight performer that embraces its lightweight philosophy. It’s a testament to Porsche’s engineering prowess, delivering an unrivaled driving experience that will leave you exhilarated and craving for more. Enjoy the full report on page 27.

A big thanks to everyone who contributed to this issue.

And remember, it’s not how fast you’re going but how fast it feels you’re going that counts!
