Our team at duPont REGISTRY Live presents this exquisite 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS, a highly optioned example of Porsche’s most extreme open-top sports car. Finished in a purposeful Arctic Grey, it comes equipped with nearly $28,000 in factory options, which also includes the highly desirable Weissach Package. Powered by a naturally aspirated flat-six derived from the 911 GT3. Showing just 340 miles at the time of documentation, this single-owner 718 Spyder RS represents a tastefully configured sports car package that is increasingly sought after by enthusiasts as Porsche moves away from naturally aspirated mid-engine platforms.

The Porsche 718 Spyder RS represents the most focused and performance-oriented evolution of the Boxster platform and essentially embraces the same philosophy of the 550 Spyder from the 1950s. Built at Porsche’s facility in Osnabrück, Germany, it combines mid-engine balance with components derived directly from the brand’s GT racing division, creating a car that blurs the line between road car and track machine.

 

At its core sits a naturally aspirated 4.0 flat-six sourced from the 911 GT3, which puts out 493 horsepower and 331.9 pound-feet of torque. With a 9,000 rpm redline, this high-revving powerplant defines the Spyder RS experience, delivering immediate response and a distinct mechanical character. Power goes exclusively to the rear wheels through a 7-speed PDK transmission. 60 mph takes less than 3.4 seconds with a top speed rated at 191 mph.

 

The Spyder RS emphasizes lightweight construction throughout. Its manually operated Spyder RS soft top only weighs 40 pounds. Reduced insulation and the use of lightweight materials reinforce its driver-focused intent. Overall, the 718 Spyder RS weighs just as much as the Coupe at around 3,200 pounds.

 

How? The Spyder RS was built from the ground up to be a convertible, and with a road-bias, it also offers a more compliant ride compared to the 718 GT4 RS. Aerodynamic revisions, including a more aggressive front fascia, naca ducts in the CFRP hood, a revised lip, cut-outs in the front fenders that reduce lift, a rear diffuser, and a ductail spoiler setup, that improve stability while preserving the open-top experience.

 

This highly specified single-owner Arctic Grey example only has 384 miles on the odometer. Central to its configuration is the high-performance Weissach Package, priced at $12,570, which introduces extensive carbon fiber components and weight-saving measures derived from Porsche’s motorsport programs. 

 

The package also makes available the 20-inch forged center-lock magnesium wheels finished here in Satin Neodyme. They reduce unsprung weight and contribute to weight savings of approximately 22 pounds, enhancing responsiveness and handling precision.

 

Additional options include deviated stitching, carbon fiber interior trim, Sport Chrono Package, with the Dial for the clock/instrument panel in Guards Red, and Bose Surround System, elevating both the visual and tactile quality of the cabin. Overall, factory options total just under $28,000.

 

As Porsche transitions toward electrification, the 718 Spyder RS represents one of the final naturally aspirated mid-engine sports cars. With its GT3-derived engine, Weissach specification, and carefully selected options, this example represents a highly desirable configuration within Porsche’s modern performance lineup.
