Imagine a commute of soul-stirring performance. There are few driving machines on the road with the beauty and handling of the Porsche 718 Spyder. The Spyder, which is the top-of-the-line 718 Boxster, has plenty going for it. Today, we’re sharing what makes the 2021 model year so special.
Engine and Transmission
The engine in this car helps propel it to absolutely soar over almost all competition on the road. The mid-engined, flat-line six is good for 414 hp and 309 lb. ft of torque, enough to blast from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds when paired with the manual transmission.
If you think a manual is not for you, you can option your Spyder with Porsche’s excellent PDK automatic transmission. The PDK can actually rip off shifts faster than the manual, pushing it from 0 to 60 mph in an otherworldly 3.7 seconds. That’s supercar territory.
Handling
This Porsche Spyder is an absolute breeze to drive on curves as well as on straightaways. Remember how we mentioned this little Porsche is mid-engined? This means the car is exceptionally balanced because the weight is in the middle of the car. It turns smoothly on a dime. Every input made by the driver immediately communicates where the car is going.
Driving Impressions
Additional features such as a stiff chassis, adaptive dampers, and available carbon-ceramic brake rotors that resist fading make everyone who touches the wheel feel joy. The experience is one that puts a smile on people new to the brand as well as the most seasoned of drivers. It’s truly a soul-stirring experience.
Interior Comfort
When you take a seat in the Spyder’s cabin, you’ll find elegance and thoughtful design in every square inch. Everything is designed to fall close at hand, creating a feeling of purpose and oneness between the machine and road for drivers. Stepping up from standard seating, state-of-the-art carbon-fiber seats are available too. Seats that distribute weight well and have higher tensile strength than steel make this Porsche an even more dedicated pure sports car.
Gadgets
You might think by now that with so much focus being spent by Porsche on the Spyder’s driving experience, there is little room for improvement. However, you’re in for a surprise. This car is definitely not short on creature comforts. While it is certainly at home on the track, you can absolutely drive it daily with ease.
Not only does it come with the to-be-expected seat warmers, electric backrest, rearview camera, and automatic garage door opener, but it can also be equipped with a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and 18-way adaptive sports seats. It’s more than a summer car.
