What is the Spyder RS?

[ralphmusic]

A view, not perhaps "up there in the Hallowed halls" but perhaps best summarised as "intensity"

or as I would say, "as mad as a box of frogs"

To answer your thread ..... 987 Spyder X4 price wise ... same roof and 987 possible as much fun level but slower and more usable on UK roads

I hadn’t realised until recently that the RS hood was a similar arrangement to the first 987 version. All cars have got fat with emissions and safety kit but Porsche haven’t really lightweighted the RS, even leaving in the Spyder hood arms.

Still I suppose the 987 was comparatively expensive (at list) in the day.

My car was listed at 56K when new in Sept 2011 with all the right bits and a Boxster S at the time was possibly around mid 40 s K so a fair stretch for a car with a non electric roof no radio etc .They have not reached the original RRP yet its strange as numbers are limited to around 225 UK RHD .the latest 718 are all over list .

my 987 was big bucks new with leather dash £2.5k option and PCCB's £6+ so that's about 10k ontop of a normal one. not cheap cars in 2010.

this platform got very expensive fast though, my 718 GTS was £95k and people still poo poo it not being a GT car or a 911.
