Not sure, hood looks to short looking on the fins may just be the vid clip ... .

12 Deg and blowing 40MPH winds I think it was a wise move ...some did venture out topless, only two Spyders in the display a Black 987 and one Yellow 981 one on track

Will current Spydermen buy the next Spyder if it is a 4???

I doubt it. A 6 cylinder naturally aspirated engine is the big draw for me and, I suspect, many others too

 

[spyder31]

Hmmm. Not sure I would buy one. I can only see the list price increasing beyond the 981 spyder list price (in itself quite an increase from the 987 to 981) which would make it a relatively expensive car.

I don't think so, the 981 is such a great car I think a more powerful 4 pot would actually feel like a step backwards. It would certainly feel less special.

I think I would rather add a 987 Spyder to the garage instead.

Trouble is, I think the next one will actually be a 6 pot, so that will cause me some issues !!

Not for me. Part of the draw was 911 motor in a mid engine etc etc. Maybe the 991.2 3.0 turbo finds it way in there in which case I would consider it but I doubt it will. Is 718 spyder likely to be as pretty because the 981 is a magnet in this respect.

Definitely would have to be Flat 6 for me to continue being a Spyderman but as the Spyder isn't a GT car it would make corporate sense if it had a really hot version of the new flat 4 turbo and try and boost the 718 flat 4 image [8D] I currently know of 3 981 owners acively looking elsewhere as they are so underwhelmed by the drive and soundtrack of the 718's! 718 Spyder

hi Robert, are the 981 owners non Spydermen?

would have thought that there will be some news of any next Spyder within next 6 months

 

[spyderwhite]

Spyder31 the 987spyder with a few well chosen extras in 2010/11 was £58-60k list in 2016 the 981 spyder circa £65-67k so not really a huge increase over 5/6 years so the next may be around £70kish depending on spec.

As for the next spyder if there is one I would say at least 2019 and if it is a 2020 model year then like all Porsche cars being built after late 2019 will be turbo/hybrid! So anything with a na engine needs to be built in next 2 years.

[Dylan1]

I won't be replacing my 981 S( near enough GTS spec) with a 718 - my prolonged test drive left me underwhelmed as you mentioned

in all probability it will be with a 991.2

 

[tinyjohn]

Whilst returning from FOS, and queue jumping on M25, I ended up pulling alongside another Spyder. 987 & 981 together, lots of double takes from other drivers, and probably will never happen by chance again in my lifetime.

Anyone looking for a nice silver Manual Spyder 987? One with 13,000 miles at OPC Bournemouth for £49k

Doesn't have buckets, so my search continues.

Hi Dyllan - No and rightly so as my car was far too younger a puppy and far too few miles on its speedo but many of the cars there were very mint and immaculate I must say - good fun evening and opportunity to mix it with the bigger dogs
