I'm not so sure. Has it got to user friendly and lost its weekend/toy feel about it?!

The web special shows the rear wing lifting, that's new to me:
I think the new Spyder is very interesting. As a car that I'd own it would fit into my life much better than a GT4 would.
10mm higher ride height, passive suspension, detuned GT4 engine (which can surely be remapped back to 400-410 PS), the option of open top motoring and it is most likely lighter than the GT4... I can see why Röhrl ordered a new Spyder.
I do think that the older Spyder looks "more special" but I'd argue that the newer one is "more special".

I don't think it looks much (any?) better than the GTS. Boring wheels - needed GT4 rims and side scoops imo.
Performance figures looking good though - Weight 1315 (no air-con) vs 1345 for GTS. Power-to-weight ratio 285hp/ton vs 245/ton (GTS). Cayman GT4 - 287/ton.
PDK would of seen it hitting 60 in less than 4secs... couldn't have it being quicker than the GT4
