Porsche has introduced the 718 Spyder RS, a 500hp variant of its popular Boxster convertible serving as a counterpart of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
It's the first time that the naturally-aspirated six-cylinder engine from the 911 GT3 is being offered in an open-top, mid-engined Porsche. The German automaker says the same lightweight and high-revving powerplant is also used in the 911 GT3 Cup racing car, and the 718 Spyder RS is now the most powerful and fastest open-top mid-engined car it has ever made.
