[@CarsWithNoah]

Thank you so much for having me, Nick! Was a pleasure to share the car with you and everyone. Please unlatch the door and let me out of your basement now it’s been over a week… P.S. I (unfortunately) am not the son of a hedge fund manager, simply got lucky with some investments & have worked my way up to being able to buy a car like this which I am extremely appreciative and thankful to have! I will continue daily driving my beat 240k mile stick BMW 328 wagon until I can afford a helicopter one day. Thank you

[@DrivenNotHidden]

Are you 12 years old?😂. Love the car, and your personality.

[@joshgraham934]

Noah is a good lad and a good laugh.

[@ryandrives]

Awesome car, I think I saw you leaving Cars and Coffee this weekend!

[@ItisBean]

As a young adult, I’m very happy for the Spyder owner. What a life to be able to afford such a nice car at that age! Congratulations 🎉

[@CarsWithNoah]

That means a lot, I could’ve never imagined being able to do this ever in my life let alone now - thank you for the kind comment and wish you all the best!

[@mstreich]

I aged as many years watching the roof lowering as Noah has been alive. 😮 13:12

[@theusefulchannel]

That roof mechanism is a masochists dream 😂😂

[@hbullock]

Best car Porsche makes. Big engine, small / light car, convertible, well tuned suspension, and a soundtrack that is ICE heaven. Best / last of breed. One for the ages.

[@williammorris3334]

You forgot mid-engined! Sorry I’m never owning a rear engined car, Porsche or not.

[@carreralicious]

But no manual. 😢

[@hbullock]

@@carreralicious True statement, and that’s a shame. But to be honest, a manual in this car would have stomped all over the speedster’s toes, a much more expensive car, and they were never going to do that. (not to mention they don’t have a manual that fits) Those rapid fire downshifts, though, with this pdk…those downshift barks are pure aural bliss. IMO

[@MichaelJanzen]

The product manager and engineering team for that convertible top should be fired.

[@tobi_dg]

A Boxster GTS 4.0 is plenty loud and the top goes up and down in about 10 seconds using a button next to the driver. It’s plenty special too for less than half the price. The RS is fantastic and amazing but for the rest of us a GTS/S/Base is just as fun.

[@Xolition]

Yup.

[@phillipberk5767]

a BGTS 4.0 with some aftermarket bms filters, and some mild exhaust work will give you about 75% of this experience in the real world. At least so I've been told, will be able to confirm when mine arrives, and I have Over axle pipes, and bmc filters waiting for it. The roof is probably the biggest let down on the spyder rs, to much for the real world, the power top in the gts is nice and easy.

[@sambagogo777]

"I've done it with my girlfriend in a minute and a half." I don't doubt that.

[@jamesguggenheim8045]

Nick: it’s only took 6 months after I received my allocation. But, I now have a new 2024 Cayman S in Chalk with graphite blue full leather interior, sports chrono, 20 in wheels, and a manual transmission. Thank you for your previous video on this model.

[@CDNChaoZ]

That roof is a travesty for a $200k car, especially when Mazda mastered the soft top in the Miata costing 1/6 the price.

[@stefan3eng]

is it only 200K; dealers are charging a 60k markup

[@bobcortez9471]

The roof is never intended to up in this car, it’s an afterthought and Porsche is not apologetic about it at all.

[@nafnaf0]

"weight savings" It almost should just have no roof at all

[@davidkeenan5989]

No

[@Stefan-qc6hx]

Holy mother of God. How could you live with that roof?

[@MatroX67]

I thought you were not supposed to get that close to kids Nick Awesome video as usual though!

[@robertgregory1927]

[@DB-yi5sm]

Nick. Your channel has been part of my dream for so many years. I've been lurking for just around 10 years now. I was just a kid, and I'll be graduating med school in 2 weeks. Thanks for being part of the vision 🤍

[@robreynolds2792]

As a 718 Spyder owner it was comical to watch how much more complicated the Spyder RS roof was than mine. But I was also fascinated at how easy the Speedster roof was compared to mine. 718 Spyder base roof gets easier every time you put it up or down - 35-45 seconds max. Different than most I love the manual aspects of it. Adds to the charm of the car. Cheers!

[@TGCREken]

718 Spyder owner here too. I love the roof more and more. As for this RS version, I just see it as twice the car for twice the price. Plus. Good luck to anyone getting an allocation

[@Hazy_Bubble]

Great to see you back nick !

[@chuck121370]

Beautiful Spyder RS, Noah. Thanks for sharing the car and the roof experience with us!

[@billshoe22191]

Sounds great but $200k plus for these is madness.

Finally a new video my god. Been waiting for a a decade. Love you very much !!

[@andrewhurstcars]

If it rains whilst you’re out driving I think you’re just going to carry on until you get back, rather than faff around with that roof on the side of a busy road.

[@keadog1838]

Glad to see you're still with us Nick. That top combined with no manual = no way ever. The Speedster top looked faster than my Targa except for the getting out of the car part.

[@jameswillard1]

My friend just took delivery of his Spyder RS a few weeks ago and I’ve driven in it twice. I guess my hearing isn’t that sensitive (although I doubt it) as I don’t understand people complaining about the car being too loud and bothering their ears, car sounds amazing and is not objectionable at all in my opinion

[@gabrielarch5242]

[@Mike981S]

Can you repeat please? I couldn't hear you ;)

[@howardgrubbs6216]

Makes the original Spyder top seem easy!

[@888mf4]

It looks great with a painted bonnet. The roof is simple if you have a friend to help you. Pretty much impossible to do on your own. The engine is incredible. The suspension is significantly softer than the GT4 RS which makes it possible to use more often.

[@markdschedler]

You’re back1!!!! Thank you. I loved your little boy reaction to the sound of the car. Almost as classic as Harry’s grandson int he Turbo S. So grateful for my 2013 981S at 1/5 the price.

[@Tracertme]

Nick back with a real car..👍🏆👏❤

[@razorworks111]

[@jamar959]

Thanks Nick, for the first time showing me a Porsche I would NEVER own!

[@charl12]

Imagine the guy who engineered the roof and the guy who signed off on it, They could sell ice to Eskimos….

[@jaioncebollero1168]

Besides the price, The top alone almost makes it unwanted. 😅

[@blueman5924]

I know what he means…I do almost everything in under a minute when I’m caffeinated as well. 🤪 Nice spec, crazy roof.😂

[@fisherh9111]

Yay! It’s been too long Nick. That engine is pure magic. Holy crap? Is Noah 18? Lucky kid with a great taste in cars.

[@theusefulchannel]

You lend a guy your pride and joy and he then says the following 03:06😂😂

[@thedudeabides1443]

As a 981 Spyder owner who might consider buying the RS, I can look past the absolutely BRUTAL roof design on the RS, but what I can’t look past is the lack of a manual option. I can understand the Cayman GT4RS having PDK as it makes more sense for the track, but a Spyder MUST have a manual transmission IMO. I’ll hold on to my 981!

[@CarsWithNoah]

I’ve noticed most people that hate the roof haven’t experienced it in real life - try it out if you get a chance. I’d rather have that style so I can run the Bimini top up and weather protector (the rear piece) off. Ironically I only drive manual cars and everything else I own is stick. I almost didn’t accept the Spyder allocation because it’s PDK but after driving it a bunch - I find I miss the third pedal much less than I thought I would. Me 8 months ago couldn’t even fathom that I’m typing that out right now but it’s true. If you’re ever in the New England area shoot me a message and I’ll take you for a spin. Enjoy the 981!

[@cognitive_minority]

I did my tax return in the time it took to take the roof off and it was more enjoyable.

[@dekster14LP]

Classy spec, great taste from the owner.

[@jenniferkrebs4268]

Yay, you posted a video! Love watching your videos ❤

[@koba5835]

Hey Nick, when are you going to do your configuration video of the 992.2?

[@27Ctrojans]

My z4 power top broke and I have been raising it manually for about a month. If anyone asks I tell them it's like a Spyder RS. Now I know the Spyder RS is way worse than my z4, so thank you for this video

[@IGCameron]

Hence the reason I am very happy with my standard 718 Boxster that I use to travel all over Europe with the same exhilarating experience when driving a Porsche for half the price.

[@maxmartz4665]

PDK in a Spyder? I love my Boxster S manual! Great video mate.

[@Nahpets83]

Hey Nick, nice to hear from you again, even if it's really difficult considering the RS Sypder! :D Awesome car! Unfortunately, this will soon become a contemporary witness as a result of increased electrification. Warm greetings from Germany

[@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602]

I had a '90 IROC-Z convertible back in the day and it was a manual roof and could be a pain in the butt as well, but that Porsche takes it all to a who other level! Why buy one like that would be my question, I'd rather just have a coupe! Happy motoring Nick! Cheers and say Hi to William!

[@danlin8310]

A 911 Coupe is more sought after than a 911 Cabriolet judging from the preowned prices. I believe 911 purists just love the sweeping roof lines of a 911. A 718 GT4RS is a 718 and has a decibel that makes the driver hearing bad too. Porsche sells more 911 than 718, even though a 911 costs much more than a 718, which explains 911 is more desirable amongst Porsche enthusiasts.

[@goody5582]

Good job Nick. Look forward to seeing your 992.2 review.

[@got_gt3612]

Nice video , superior spec, I have same color Touring

[@nornibres]

Nice to see you back Nick. Love this car, but I'd rather have a base Boxster, it's more sensible on public roads.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Mad mad GT product

[@4liter]

I’ll keep my Spyder in its the “easy” roof and manual trans. When and if I need more power, I will just send it to Deman!

[@cartergarnon6299]

BMC filters and a valve controller annnnnd over axle pipes if and you have the best Porsche under $500k.

[@bbpleg]

I drove a gt4rs on track. Even though I wore a helmet, my ears were ringing after just 1 session. Incredible car nevertheless ❤

[@anonimushbosh]

By the time he gets that hood up he'll look old enough to drive it 😁

[@MikeRyder-ml2mb]

Great new car! Think I'd just keep the roof down rather than deal with all that. 😀

[@Acquit808]

This and the GT3 RS and by far the best Porsches made today. Thanks for an awesome review.

You can swap the gt3 gear leaver to replace the "shaver" so no need to worry too much abt it

[@BLacknesmonstaz]

Straight to Deman to drop the balls!!

[@s.flanders]

6:50 There’s no way that was a coincidence, right? That seems like a rare enough color for a Lamborghini, and to randomly run into one while driving an even more rare Porsche seems unbelievable (but crazy if true).

[@patricksoon85]

There's a KZbinr who got the coupe version of this car and sold it within 3 months. Said it was too loud. I believe it.

[@dirkcurritzki9585]

Love these little rockets, but the price has become pretty much silly to consider especially when in the used market you can get some of the iconic cars for the few... I guess I'm sticking to my 996 911 turbo with the push button to put the top down and the 600 hp on the wheels. Nonetheless, pretty cool video Nick!!!

Luckily nobody is going to be forced to buy the Spyder RS. The roof is a hassle but really not so difficult as you make it look. The car is loud but that’s the attraction. Comparing it to the base Boxter is nonsense.

[@kristy77a]

HIGH-larious video! The roof stowage of the RS Spyder was beyond complexity, past inconvenience and into Kafkaesque absurdity. That was true comedy. The British have a terrific term for that sort of nonsensical complexity: faff. I viewed the video yesterday evening with my wife; she said that roof business absolutely put her off of any otherwise appeal the car might have. It might be more convenient to just buy a 1971 Triumph Spitfire and then throw $200,000 into the gutter.
