I think that they would price it with the same increase they did for the GT4 going to the GT4 RS, which is still a significant jump over the current 718 Spyder.

I agree that the pricing could be a determining factor, they would be very careful in this regard. But I don't see the Speedster as part of the equation, those buyers are 911 centric (except Bob) few if any want a 718.

Now, if I can just finish getting blackmail material on all the local SAs and GMs so I have a shot in hell to even get one. lol

I feel that the Spyder RS will not carry the RS moniker if ever made..and it will be the analogous form of the 718 speedster..the whole reason the speedster exists is as a fun, open-top motoring alternative to the track focused GT3. With that came individual throttle bodies, a small bump in hp, a manual transmission, and a HUGE price tag because of the open top and new design. Since there can be no track focused convertible, it will be named IMO with either a new moniker or as possibly a “718 Speedster.” It will be one delicious car but with a price tag to match.

See the Porsche Press release of a few days back defining “RS” as also fun car.
Almost simultaneously is AP and Porsche brass commenting on the Spyder RS as “interesting” but no decision has been made. Lol…that’s “on the record” speak for it’s coming.
All the heavy lifting already done. Historically they almost have to do it…1963 718 Spyder RS LeMans Class Win.
Say they make couple thousand and charge $50K more…do the math.
It’s coming…

I bet the GT team was reading the RS thread and laughing their *** off knowing it was getting a GT3 engine.
