Porsche 2020 718 Spider

2020 Porsche 718 Spyder

Nowadays, I often hear and see that the 718 Spider is not easily available.

I really want it! I hope it will reach those who think that ^^

I haven't really cared about it until now, but recently I've finally noticed that "Oh, there are many cars that Porsche can't buy easily" ← Insensitive? Is it too late to notice? ... I mean, I feel like I've been doing well without such recognition until now ^^

By the way, there was another article about the Porsche 718 Spider that was briefly summarized here, so I would like to take a look at it for my own review.

Source: Flat-Six Returns to Porsche's 718 Spyder for 2020

Horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine revived

The 3rd generation 981 Boxster sold from 2012 to 2016 was a 2.7 liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine, but in the next 4th generation 982 Boxster (that is, the current 718 Boxster), the engine is For a 2.0 liter / 2.5 liter, horizontally opposed 4-cylinder turbo engine.

That's why the 718 Spider announced this time has returned to a horizontally opposed 6-cylinder NA engine. Moreover, it is 4 liters.

The most important upgrade of the 2020 model, the 718 Spider, is this amazing & new engine anyway, which has already been acclaimed as being introduced with a solid read of market demand.

With almost all potential rival models on the market turbocharged, this new NA engine gives the 718 Spider its unrivaled appeal due to its high revs and fast throttle response. When.

The rear diffuser of the 718 Spider has a large-diameter exhaust, which produces a wonderful flat-six sound, and also improves the performance of the 2020 model.

The output of the 4-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine is 420 horsepower and 309 lb-ft torque (420 Nm).

In the 718 Spider, the lights have also been changed, and the rear taillights are slim LED line lights, making the car more attractive.

Well, nowadays, the 718 Spider (and the 718 Cayman GT4) seems to be a line where the rear lights are connected by one, so it's actually different.

Clearly, all the new models were wondering if the rear was a single connected line light ... ^^

In the rear deck area of the 718 Spider, there is another LED brake light that is attached to the left and right bulging shapes on the rear.

This makes the car easier to understand even in the event of rain or bad weather, improving safety.

The 718 Spider is a complete sports car, a midship with no backseat.

This configuration seems to bring Porsche's excellent weight distribution and light handling.

The instruments are also traditional, and it is said that it retains the charm of analog rather than excessive digital display, and it certainly has a more analog feeling compared to the new Porsche 911 etc.

Furthermore, the tachometer with a red line of 8,000 rpm is possible because it is naturally aspirated.

Porsche 718 Spider Body Color List (Body Color List)

As for the body and trim, the 718 Spider is available in various colors, and it seems that various combinations are possible.

By the way, the following 9 body colors can be selected from the configurator at present. I have arranged the following 9 colors for easy understanding.

In addition, the hood color options are "black" or "red".

Among them, in order to get a simple and strong contrast, it is said in this article that it is a silver body, a red hood and a red brake caliper ... ^ ^

Grip and cornering reliability and safety are a combination of model-specific tires and brakes.

Michelin tires offer special Cup2 tires to match the weight distribution of the 718 Spider.

Hidden behind the 20-inch wheels is a large 15-inch brake and red caliper.

Anyway, "I can be absorbed in driving." This is all about the 718 Spider.

With a naturally aspirated 6-speed manual transmission, it's impossible for the driver to get hooked anymore! I want to drive! !!

With a maximum speed of 187 mph (300 km) and a price of $ 97,640 in the United States, the horizontally opposed 6-cylinder 718 Spider is a car with great value considering its rare specifications and future value. It is highly acclaimed.

"Perfectly Irrational"

718 Spider, nice!

Porsche uses the word "Perfectly irrational" as the catchphrase for this 718 Spider (and 718 Cayman GT4). This is literally "completely irrational." Porsche Japan also expresses this as "I have no idea to follow reason."

As you can see. I don't know. But I'm sure it's a car that gives you so much fun that you can skip reason ^^ Perfectly Irrational. I like it.

Personally, if a left-hand drive specification comes out in the future (* Currently, only the right-hand drive is sold in Japan) and Porsche says "OK, you can buy it", take it a little seriously. It's one of the cars you'll want.

No, really, for the time being, I hope that the allocation will go to those who are serious about purchasing if they already want it, and who really want it ~ ^ ^!
