718 Spyder around 18 months away.

No PDK option.

As previously posted, likely to be far more expensive than 981........ parity pricing with 718 GT4 expected also influenced by role and pricing reversal between Cayman and Boxster.

Likely premium post launch otrc + £20k +.

Hi av : Flat NA 6 ?

Sorry Rich, just spotted this from last month!

Good question on the new engine for the 718 Spyder.

As its not officially a GT car, who knows whether it will be na or turbo.

The GT4 will undoubtedly be na probably with the powerkit but detuned engine from the old Carrera S.

Would like the think the new Spyder would be similar but there are no guarantees.

No problem. Time will tell

Thinking of changing the spyder to a GT3 RS and the part ex offering for My car is77k
With 3500 miles on the clock and a good spec. I think a bit more before a deal can be
Done.

I followed a 981 spyder as i was leaving Cardiff thursday night and i thought it was the best sounding car i've heard in a long time.I'm sure my old GT4 never sounded that good.
In the next round i am considering a 982 Spyder rather than the new GT4 as it may complement my PDK GT3.2 best.

IMHO 981 Spyder sounds soooo much better than the GT4 - however can’t knock the 4 for looks and poise (Spyder not half bad either) both great cars

Hi - Been looking for an interesting car for a while, and keep coming back to a 987 Spyder. After having a great 986 S, followed by a 996 C4S that needed an engine rebuild, I am looking for something that can restore my faith in Porsches.

I am looking for a manual 987 Spyder in white (with silver Spyder wheels), with PSE, SS and Chrono plus being desirable. Beyond that, I am flexible on the spec. Looking to keep the car for a while. There are a couple of cars that meet my needs listed currently, but would welcome suggestions from anyone here. If you know the cars listed, then it would be great to hear if they are solid cars. Thanks.

Hello Darren, mine is the 'private seller' car listed (in Surrey). Black / Silver rim wheels being the only deviation from your wish list. A recent OPC service means no further expenditure until Sept. 2019. Drop me a message should you require further details. Best of luck with your search.

The 981 Spyder does sound epic.... I still can’t really believe that it’s legal in our nanny state.
I agree a GT3 . 2 plus Spyder would make a fantastic garage.

That was my exact thought when I first got it - bloody hell how have they managed to sneak this baby through noise regs They simply will not be making cars like this for much longer

Sadly my recent outing in the latest 991 GTS was a massive let down when it came to the sound from its PSE!

Porsche definitely hit the sweet spot with the 981 Spyder soundtrack and have now gone well & truly off piste IMO

Now off for a nice summer day blast before the correct weather for October kicks in later this week

Not often u see another 981 spyder . So great to park next to one today in asda , swanley ,of all places.the first one i have ever see in the wild.black with silver wheels.
Had a nice chat to the owner , but dont think he is on here . He bought the car with 400 miles on it a year ago from tonbridge opc. but i wont say for how much .lets just say the first owner made a flipping fortune......Hello Neil if u see this.

I'd be hedging my bets and looking out for a 981 Spider Taffy. Who knows whether the next car will be N/A and even if it is whether the soundtrack is as good.

Nice pair:



Lovely yesterday, wasn't it (calm before the storm)?

Notice the 718 Boxster GTS is out - not sure if this is old news - but 4 Cylinder and the one I specked to be as close as possible to my Spyder was £k72 + OTR charges - makes the Spyder look like the bargain of the century - happy days

[davidc1]

new spyder will be a 70k basic price i reckon.no matter what engine is in the back.

Yep and would be worth every penny relative to other 718’s if it is NA

I think the next GT4 and Spyder will be at a different "price point" to the previous cars....they can easily be £80k cars and still look decent value.

Agree - would be worth it just to get a proper engine .......... run away

There was a spyshot of the 781 Spyder on the GB POrsche Club web site the other day. It was in convoy with 3 of the 992 next generation 911 The exhaust on the Spyder was VERY diferent from 718 with two outlets midway between centre and side of car very similar to current 991 This might indicate a flat 6 ? This could of course be the new turbo or NA unit I also think taht the price point for the new car will be higher than the 981
