Really odd looking though don't you think?

True but imagine the noise

it would do you head in after a while.

Do you reckon? I hope not - the vids of the Cayman RS sound epic!

Rs being the moniker for ultimate lap times, i cant help but wonder if the Spyder is having an identity crisis in RS guise.
No doubt Porsche will have people queuing at the doors to buy them, but cant help but wonder what the point of an RS Spyder is?

Good point - maybe to remind the driver of this:

I reckon even in the Cayman RS the sound will get on your nerves after a while. Its a 5 minute wonder.

The thing is engine noise is probably one of my absolute favourite things in a car (after great handling) - I would absolutely love it, I reckon.

not to that level surely. Imagine going on a motorway for a few hours with that racket inches from your ear drums.

If your getting a Spyder RS that wont be your motorway car I can assure you. My GT4RS is due to be delivered mid to end of next month, The only time that will see the motorway is on the way to track and that's it. I'd sooner have a headache from the car on the motorway than have a quiet boring sound coming from it.

This all day - track days and fun days. The rest of the time, I'll be in one of my other cars

I’d take one all day over the coupe. Would be a fantastic car.

Coupe looks like Rebecca Vardy designed it.

Treat it as a Caterham, the hood would never be up. Get it to the Alps, you’d never look back.

Exactly Robbo - what a lot of fun this would be!

Even with the roof up the first Spyder was very pretty ... to my eye.

True to the lightweight ethos, feelsome hydraulic steering, and plenty fast enough ... lovely.

Completely agree - very lovely looking car!
