414 horsepower of flat-six bliss accompanies this very special Porsche 718 Boxster.
The flat-six–powered 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder is more than just an awesome driving machine. Operating it is music to our ears. Read the full story here.
Along with its mostly mechanically identical sibling, the Cayman GT4, the Spyder ditches the 718's lesser turbo flat-fours for a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six good for 414 horsepower.
A standard six-speed manual transmission is fitting for the rather analog 718 Spyder.
The Spyder's 3.9-second zero-to-60-mph time doesn't make it one of the quickest 718 model we've tested, but it is by far one of the most satisfying.
The Spyder's largely manual folding top can be a bit fussy but it's a small price to pay for the driving experience.
The Spyder's base price of $97,650 is a big ask for a a Boxster, yet it might be worth it for hard-core enthusiasts.
Outfitted with $8000 carbon-ceramic brakes, $5900 carbon-fiber seats, a $2320 nav system, and more, our test car's final tally came to a dear $120,530.
Our Spyder test car circled the skidpad with an impressive 1.06 g of grip and stopped from 70 mph in 150 feet.
While we enjoy most of the noise of operating the 718 Spyder at speed, its minimal roof and fat summer tires do allow for a lot of road noise to enter the cabin.
