Expect there’ll be some numbered “final” edition cars that have special colors, decals, number plaques, etc. Similar to BGTS 25 or any number of 911, Boxster, Cayman numbered cars of the past.

Not to drift too far away from this thread, but I think if they could get 450 hp out of the existing 4.0L engine (9A2?) then they could use the existing transmissions etc....The old Cayman R is a cool looking car, and this would get you close to that GT3 touring vibe in a Cayman. (made a new thread)

Nope, same as Spyder and GT4....when the valves open each cylinder bank dumps individually on each side, part of the reason for the awful exhaust sound on all 9A2 engine cars and now the GT4RS. Will be the same with the Spyder RS.

But it's the "stock" gt4/spyder exhaust footprint, so you can swap in any of the aftermarket products which have been developed? Or does the 4rs have a bespoke back box? I assume the headers and OAPs, at least, have to be different...?

From a design standpoint, I think they’re close, they just need to subdue the cowbell a bit more
IMHO, WAY to big, looks like an “add-on” fiberglass scoop from the 70’s, lol.
IMHO, WAY nicer looking! Not as “horsey” Sometimes less is more
Dear A.P. My suggestions.

I’d be shocked if they actually had 10 “regular” Spyders inbound.

Looking so good! Super excited for this.
Curious which headlamps it’ll debut with? If it has the PDLS+, it’ll be good indication that they might return for 2024 MY?🤷🏻♂️
Regardless, I’m getting one!
