2024 porsche 718 Boxster Spyder RS First Drive: A Future Legend
It’s common knowledge at this point that the next version of Porsche’s mid-engined sports car won’t be “engined” at all but rather run on EV power. But that hasn’t stopped Porsche from updating the gas-powered model. The automaker is sending it off with a bang with the 718 Spyder RS, the last version of the ICE-powered 718 and available for both 2024 and 2025.

Best to do as Porsche suggests: leave the top at home, and use your almost $200K sportster only when the weather allows. And save yourself even more weight as a bonus.

Though this is a new trim, the 718 itself is an older vehicle and it still get Porsche’s old infotainment system.
In any case, the PDK is quicker and while Porsche maintains that the GT4 RS is the track car and the Spyder RS is the road car – they’ve even tuned the suspension and steering to reflect this – it remains a car that really does ask for its components to be turned up to 11. Do I miss a manual shift option? Yes, I do – unless I’m taking this thing on track, I don’t really need all that responsiveness – but I understand why they’ve done what they have.
