USP of a “Touring Spyder” would be the convenient top with NA6. As a 981 Spyder owner, a touring version doesn’t interest me at all (needs the classic rear speedster style humps) but there are supposedly punters who value the convenience more and that gives PAG a more immediate answer to the rather limp 718 sales rather than waiting for the next version.

The reason we did the curve (rather than run it all the way along the rocker) was to emphasize the rear wheel arch and it works well with the rest of the curves on the car. If the sticker covers that part it looks more like a sticker as it gets quite high on the rocker panel and less like a plastic piece. Also looks a bit “flat”- hard to describe.
Good luck.

Ok. another pic below... basically we’ve covered the rocker panel from inside the wheel arch and under the car. Suggest sticking matt Expel stealth (for protection n to give it a plastic look like the front lip) to the black vinyl piece before computer cutting the curve which is loosely based on the door curve above. We positioned the sticker loosely in line with the front lip and parallel to the bottom of the door like the PORSCHE stripe with the start of the curve under the intake. If I do it again I’d probably place the start of the curve closer to the start of the door curve.

...but an auto-top Spyder Touring in Lizard Green would be EXTREMELY tempting.

Have it on good authority that another 6cyl Boxster/Cayman variant is following the Spyder/GT4. Not sure about timeline or specifics RE: engine for this other variant, but its definitely in the pipeline. Not surprising, I suppose, as we have all seen the videos of the mules.
But I am just another dude on the internet, so take it for what its worth!

Based on photos... this is not a Touring version.
Its one of the below:
1. GTS/S replacement for the 982.2
2. The rumored 718/6 like the old 914/6
Either way it is a lower version and not a version of the GT4/Spyder like some thought.
Either way... glad to hear the 6 is making a comeback for the masses.

I was able to con my wife into accepting a PDK 991.2 to accompany my manual 981 BGTS. Wonder if she'd notice if I swapped the 991.2 for a PDK 718/6 Cayman.
I'll probably just swap the 981 BGTS for a 718/6 Boxster and keep the 911.
