Take a Porsche 718 Boxster, put a 4L flat six in it from a 911 Carrera S, much of the suspension from the GT3, design a stunning soft top with iconic bulges behind the driver and passenger and put the bodywork on a course of steroids and you will end up with a 718 Spyder.
The soft top sibling to the 718 GT4 also has three pedals and a six speed manual transmission. That means one of the most engaging and enjoyable drivers cars you will ever experience !
Thanks to Porsche GB for letting me experience the car and share it with you guys.

100% agree. And the “double bubble” is shared with some special models, neat link to things like the CGT, 918 Spyder, Speedster.

I bought this car for many reasons but the main one is its design. It’s different, unique, unlike any other regular cars (except other exotics). Yes the roof is manual but that’s what even makes the roof design and shape special and unique! The double bubble in the back, the major air intake at the front etc... it just makes this car the best and cheapest exotic car you can get!

As he displayed is absolutely not how you raise nor drop the roof. You simply use the fob, no getting in or out. Even the dealership showed me wrong. It takes me 18 seconds in total, up or down. The roof buttons in the center console should never be used.

Press the unlock button (if from locked position) and press and hold the unlock button again on the key and the roof will unlatch and the boot will release and the windows will partially drop. No need to put the keys in the ignition. It’s roof mechanism is part of the charm of this car. Good review as always otherwise!

John S14a talking of Triumphs, whilst waiting for one of my lads on his motorbike lesson last week, I was parked at the back of Anglia Auctions place in Kings Lynn and on the back of a transporter was an absolutely gorgeous and immaculate 1971 white Triumph Stag. I'd forgotten how nice they were as I was only a baby in 1971. However an uncle of mine had one and I always remember thinking he was so cool 😎 because he always put on his smart leather driving gloves when he got in it. 😁

So glad you liked the Spyder. It's hard not to isn't it? Please remember that the Spyder was designed to be driven with the roof open at all times. More like a summer car so to speak (depending on where you lived). The roof was put there as an emergency in case it rains, it was deliberately engineered like that to save weight and allow it to more agile. It's also a lot easier than some manual roof systems. If you really want an electric roof, get a Boxster GTS ... or you get the Cayman GT4. There are choices for different people/needs. Anyway, loved the video it was great, as always! 👍

I’m one of the few lucky ones this year, should be getting my Spyder in November (not the best time for a convertible to arrive). Thanks for a great video that confirms I’m doing the right thing👍

The 981 GTS Boxster was one of my favorite all time Porsche, and your right the rev match is both flattering and addictive at the same time. The 718 with the 2.5 was epic fun, and fast but without a PSE it just didn't do it for me. But, this thing looks 👌. So glad it didn't have the 7 speed though.

I want the MX 5 roof and MSRP, and the rest to be the 718 Spyder! Janko Lind suggested the best way to enjoy the manual is hold first gear longer than usual.

When you approach the car, to take the roof down, press “unlock” and hold. The roof latch and trunk latch open and the windows roll down. Makes lowering the top a snap.

Top-shelf vid. Really appreciated the break down on the driving experience. We are the same page when it comes to manual box and a visceral driving experience. Think it cinches that the coupe is for me vs the soft top. And BTW I would gladly make the flight to be your filming wing man. :) Looks like fun.

Another bangin review by the Ped massive. Totally agree on manual gear boxes, as will most people probably. It doesn’t matter how good a flappy paddle box is, it’s just not engaging.

I've owned the 981 GT4 and got offered a build slot this week; I've turned it down as I'd like to get the 718 Spyder though numbers are so low I doubt I'll be that lucky. Stunning car. Coming in PDK next year btw.

Great review and a beautiful car. As for the roof, for me a manual roof beats electric. It's lighter, never goes wrong and once it's down I find it rarely goes back up during a drive.
