Porsche claims the 718 Spyder RS is not a carbon copy of the Cayman GT4 RS since the Spyder RS has different tunings for the springs and dampers to achieve a more comfortable ride to fulfil customer expectations in a better manner.

Mated to a seven-speed PDK transmission, this engine churns out 493 hp of peak power and 450 Nm of maximum torque. The car can sprint 0-100 kmph in 3.4 seconds and 0-200 kmph in 10.9 seconds.
