Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

[KennyR]

i'm with you Paul08, only got mine in November.Hoping the 718 spyder will be a 4 pot turbo so keeping the value in the 981 spyders.

Merry Christmas to everyone and have a great and fast new year.

Wishing all Spyder owners seasons greetings [8D]

The 718 Spyder will be N/A and possibly the last N/A version going forward - In the meantime all current 981 Spyder owners have a cracking classic Porsche to enjoy going into 2019 and onwards []

[/link] just checking in . . . my 2010 987 Spyder now has 113,000 (one hundred and thirteen thousand) miles on the clock - no issues - no problems - just EPIC INTERSTELLAR fun and driven every single day, whatever the weather like the world is ending! Thats about it! Wow ! that is some testament to the Spyder's usability

Found a xmas prezzy for daro911 currently for sale at @ashgood Porsche.

Have a good Xmas to all. Maybe we’ll get all the #spyders together sometime in 2019 for an outing.

Andrew is correct FHC are a no no in my world and driving topless only since 17 too late for me to change now [8D]

Am I alone in being a 981 Spyder owner who is hoping that any 718 Spyder is a turbo-flat4? That would leave my car as the last of the manual, N/A flat 6's

What I hope for is that Porsche dealers do more to discourage flipping, although their fiscal priorities mean that they probably encourage it

With talk of the 718 Spyder being a 2020 release, why would Porsche go back to old engines when they can stick a tuned 718 GTS 4 pot in there.... Time will tell

Yes a very Happy Christmas to all new and ageing Spydermen...

Would love to get a Spyder gathering together for next year Chris.

Maybe something around the clubs Silverstone Classic ??

A drive out on the Friday or Saturday and some dedicated parking at the Classic on the Sunday..........

Lets see..

 

[Chris95]

Fair enough Just thought they’d look stunning parked next to each other.

Have a great Xmas

 

[Chris95]

Given the Cayman T turned up with the standard 718 turbo setup like the US VIN class said after being ‘spied’ at the ‘ring looking the same from behind as the new GT4 and Spyder, a F4 turbo is looking more likely in my book. 992 F6 possibly. Or maybe the ‘T’ wasn’t a 2019 ’T’......

There ends the speculation for 2018.

They would look even better in convoy winging it down a B road !!!

 

[Motorhead]

Sorry Chris but you're barking up the wrong tree in my opinion. Frankly, I'm amazed that this subject is still being discussed..!

Back in May I posted on this and the Cayman forum that a friend and I had carried out a frequency analysis of some sounds from video clips of GT4 and Spyder prototypes which confirmed a 6-cylinder N/A motor not a turbo 4-pot, and I haven't seen or heard anything to the contrary since that time.

So, fact not speculation in that respect. Rumours when we'll actually see the cars are however still speculation.

I’m hoping for a Geneva reveal...

I’ve already booked Flights !!

I don’t see myself changing the Spyder though as it does everything I want from a 2 seat convertible.

What I do want is a new 6cyl NA GT4 to sit beside the Spyder.

This will give me a car for everyday of the year.....

Here’s hoping

 

[Chris95]

Three NA6 GT4 (in red) available on Pistonheads right now! (Just not ‘new’). Why wait......

 

[Boxster7]

I’m sure Porsche will pull a few more tricks on the “new” one.

Plus I would enjoy putting myself through the pain and amusement of the Porsche options list..... oh how I will laugh

Wishing you all A Very Happy & Healthy 2019

Better put the helmet on as its going to be a very up & down ride Spydermen []

[kitchens]

As you say another report ...what seems apparent is the lack of exhaust noise/ note certainly sounds different to the current one ,maybe to adhere to the new emissions regulations .Not long to wait is it Geneva?
