It's all about perspective. I don’t see tats, I see tighter abs and she can dance harder, all night long. Everyone is different.

 

Great then that the transmission it currently comes with is the one you want, I would personally order a manual, choices are very important to have at this level of expense.

I think it was a decision, not engineering constraints, there are manual transmissions connected to GT3 engines...

 

One thing AP has mentioned that DOES have my attention is how much more eager and playful this “lighter” SRS is. I don’t know how much of that is marketing sales talk, but that would be a pretty significant plus. It might make me feel compelled to get a Ti exhaust and lightweight battery (and $$$$ mag wheels?) to really embrace this nature.

Lightness = Goodness, for sure (as we all know)

 

Yes, light is good, another reason to ditch that heavy PDK!

Anyway, the SRS isn't bad but after a few mods on my Spyder I think it comes in a little better than the lightest 'factory SRS'... AP said 1410kg, leave to top out 1402kg, and radio delete (not possible in North America) removes another 6KG.

This is with the forged aluminum wheels (not magnesium), Akra Titanium link pipes, and JCR Titanium Silenced Race Pipe and every else in the car including about 1/2 tank of gas. (6MT, LWBS and PCCB as pictured)

 

The SRS weight is full tank of gas and doesn’t have the Ti exhaust nubbins. But it DOES have the mag wheels.

 

Of course there are variables, the SRS if you get the WP has Ti exhaust tips!

Also did you notice the standard fuel tank on the SRS is 10l smaller that the regular Spyder 54l (40.5kg) as opposed to 64l (48kg) and again it depends on what you accept as being in the car.

I would not be throwing the roof out when I start a trip that leaves the city I live in, I may hit weather and I may need to actually lock the car, so the roof stays in and the weight is 1410kg. If I fill my Spyder gas tank with up that remaining 1/2 tank with gas, and add 24kg bringing my Spyder to... 1411kg

 

The Speedster has its engine in the rear. But to answer your question, they won't.

 

I remember AP saying noway the Cayman/Boxter
can have a 911 GT3 engine cause it should be rotated to be hosted in a mid engine car,

whilst the local conspiracy club in RL said impossible only because it would make a Cayman to be faster than a GT3...

both wrong and now they did the GT3 engine engineering to fit inside the 718

i wonder engineering wise if shorter mid engine space would make the GT3 manual not doable within the 718

 

Yes I did notice that. However it is a typo on the Canadian site. Go to the other sites and you will see same size fuel tanks.

Points for looking at details. 👍🏻

 

No 718R???

 

 

Well maybe they are still bringing out a 718R. Atleast that is how I see it in this article.

apologies if this is a repost

 

Makes me re-think about all my configuration!
Ditch the WP, change colour scheme etc

 

That is pretty darned hot, tbh
