TheCarGuys.TV thanks, I'm very much looking forward to seeing your spyder vid, what will you think of the roof operation and it's wet weather traction ?? 😊👍
it's great seeing so many comments, thank you for your interest, if I may answer a couple of common points mentioned; the Porsche handbook recommends running in the engine which I am doing with the brief exceptions shown here in this video, although dealers say running in is not necessary. I didn't option bucket seats as my wife struggles with them, and accelerating hard on a damp road WITHOUT lighting up the rear tyres and bouncing off the rev limiter will take practice as engine torque is huge, Can I tempt you to subscribe ? link here :- ruclips.net/user/RogerBaileyOnCars subscriber numbers, likes and comments keep me scrounging cars to film ! thanks for looking in - Cheers !

Roger CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m watching this while sitting half underwater at a swim up bar in Maui and folks have gathered around to see your video of the new baby!! So amazing and what a nice color. Cheers from Hawaii 🍺
Roger spectacular, but we need to have a chat, where are the P11 bucket seats, and red calipers towards Miami blue? I love Porsche for making all our different tastes configurable. Keep up the good work Roger.
Janko well see my wife insisted on these seats, she struggles getting out of the buckets, and the brakes - an oversight now I see it in the metal, great hearing from you - thanks & best wishes, Roger
@@gsthree9534 I hope Roger will have the same opportunity. I'm happy you view his videos as well as mine. FYI I will have a head to head with 981 Spyder VS the 718 Spyder. Also with the 718 GT4. Thanks for watching my and Rogers channel and for subscribing to us both.
Well done you Roger, for the week following the launch I couldn’t get a night’s sleep thinking about the new Spyder. It’s an absolute stunner. Look forward to seeing your journey in the future. I’m off to sulk in silence 😪. Geof
Great car Roger, looks great in that shade of blue. Just taken delivery of a 992 s from PORSCHE Chester and watching your videos helped us make. the decision over a R8. Your great presentation skills stopped us from moving over to the dark side.
Thank you, its great to hear this, I'm sure you will enjoy your 992 there's nothing else quite like it, Oh and I'm hoping Porsche Chester see your comment ! - best wishes, Roger
Came here unpretentiously looking after Porsche 718 / Cayman reviews. Found out and amazing car and a simple but very well made and honest video presented by this nice gentleman. Nice on Roger, Abraços from Brasil!!
Great spec and color - would look at home here in SoCal. I've had the 981 Spyder for a few years and was sceptical about the 718 GT4 as the particulate filters seemed to really dull the sound. Your Spyder sounds much better for some reason. Pretty much the same performance as the 981 Spyder. Thanks Roger, a great way to start the day.
its great the way you put these vidoes together it must take ages to do, its well worth it though, this spyder looks amazing and is now on my wish list
Thanks Roger for the review, appreciated. OMG the color alone, 4 liter 450 hp in 6 speed manual and looking better than the Speedster. The GT3 aero into a Spyder body is this the best looking car on the market with the performance to match, no kidding.
07.15 raining cats and dogs here in south yorkshire this morning.Roger you have brightened my day with this beautiful video well done on your new purchase drive safe.👍
Thank you for putting together a truly informative video, the first time I have heard the exhaust note properly 😁 Sounds sublime and looks stunning, perfect specification 👌
Beautiful car, not sure I'd be doing a prolonged burn out bouncing it off the rev limiter especially with Porsche and their rev range reports, but I'm glad you did it for us on video, bet you can't wait for a road trip next spring/ summer 👍🏻
Stefan Grubesic , yes agree but for sure depending where you live, S. CA, S. Of Spain, Monaco, you name it, i would prefer the Spyder if not only for the looks.
Nice video and even better car Roger, that Miami blue colour makes it look even more special. I'm a big Porsche fan, currently owning a 986 and a gen 2 997. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing how your adventures in your Spyder go.
Roger fond farewell to the Targa The 718 Spyder is a modern collectible. You’ve done well my friend and while it comes as no surprise I must admit I had thought a 992 with its added practicality might have inched ahead in the final decision. Keep enjoying 😀
Great video Roger! Really enjoyed the excitement of your new Spyder. My favorite car by Porsche, a gt3 with top down fun. I can't wait to get one in my driveway! Thanks for the great videos, keep up the great work!
Quite a lot of cars, just do not match their colour. However... For this little beauty, the colour really makes it. It's a stunning motor RB with not the slightest hint of jealousy on my part. And great video editing too. You, Petrol Ped and Howard Ritchie should be doing TopGear together. The three of you would do an outstanding job. Looking forward to more videos to come from the 718 :-))... Your No1 Stalker.
Roger, I have this exact car brother...just got it and am lovin it. Thought to myself, what would be the perfect car? “Well a normally aspirated GT3 engine with a manual gearbox and a convertible...” oh wait, it exists in the Speedster but I don’t have 300k so found out about the Spyder and couldn’t be happier with it. Great video. Preachin to the choir...
Massive congrats Roger. I kinda knew it was one of these from your reply in the last video. Stunning car and I am sure well worth the wait. Will I be right in thinking this one will be a keeper or have you already got your sights set on something else (*992 GT3 cough*). When that launches? 😀. In any case I look forward to the videos.
Congratulations on an awesome looking and preforming car. Love the color! Love the burnout! There’s a lot to be said for naturally aspirated engine reaching 8000 rpm’s. Who cares that it’s a little noisy inside as the exhaust is music to my ears. Manual transmission to boot! Have fun in your new car Roger, it’s a beauty...
I bought my 718 Boxster on the back of one of your previous videos! Great video once again... ...tell me, whereabouts can I find these roads? Want to take my 718 there! Many thanks.
Stunning car and well shot video. Would love to get my hands on one and agree the car has no competition at this price point. If Porsche centre Chester have any allocations going spare then contact me! Enjoy the car.
I haven't posted my spec I'm not sure where it is right now, probably in an email somewhere, as for the spoiler I am very aware of its lowness but not touched it as yet !
Nice purchase. Looking forward to the updates. Did you consider the Cayman GT4 before purchase and doesn't the engine need to be broken-in first before full acceleration?
Very nice car. I had to turn the volume off when the engine was loud because I do not want to hear its noise before the delivery of mine in several weeks in France.
Your videos are brilliant and the Spyder productions in no small part inspired me to choose one for myself-python green, but I was very taken with Miami Blue. Delighted whenever you upload new videos. Thank you.
Like the superiority of a mechanical watch over a Quartz watch so is the superiority of the naturally aspirated engine over a turbocharged engine. Nice to see Porsche building a real analogue car as oppose to the digital cars that we are now used to these days.
It’s not based on a GT4. It is a GT4 without a roof! I thinking of removing the 718 badge at the back and replacing with GT4 right beside the Spyder badge 😊. Porsche misnamed this car. But you are right it has no peers. Convertible mid engine manual and NASP. Nothing new has these features. Corvette nope, Lotus nope, Audi R8 nope, Ferrari nope Aston Marin nope, Lamborghini nope..That leaves just the Spyder and the Speedster. that checks those boxes. Thank You Porsche!! Unless I am missing a manufacturer that I didn’t think of - - if yes please let me know a new car that checks all those boxes.
I am blue with Envy. Honestly a beautiful choice Roger, and once again great video. Looking forward to your thoughts on this vs the GTS once you get more time behind the wheel. Enjoy your new car
Congratulations on a fantastic sports car! Probably the one besides the GT3 Touring I’d like the most to be in my garage! But isn’t a run-in period required on a brand new car before lighting up the rear tires?
Roger Bailey could be wise to be kind to it first 2-4000km. I try to change the first oil at around first 7000km, then follow the recommended intervals
Strange. A friend of mine actually has a 991.3 GT3RS and there is a km counter ticking down telling him to keep revs low until the km mark has been reached.
Congratulations for choosing this gem and getting it that early! ...and thank you so much for sharing your present and future impressions - especially in regard of the wet grip of the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires... ;-) Have you the opportunity to test the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S with this car? ...please...
@@RogerBaileyOnCars I hope that you drive carefully enough to stay in the comfort zone of joy - even in wet conditions. Could you please give me a favor and tell me which type of battery is found in the car (lead or lithium) and the specifications (size, capacity)? I always dream the dream of weight saving possibilities... ...and could you also please check the ground clearance? Sorry to ask some profane questions, but after I watched your video, I can not wait to drive that car into my garage (which has a steep ramp).
thanks for this video... i finally got my alloocation for 2022 Dec delivery.. .love the blue but went with the classic GT SIlver with classic spyder interior... cant wait!
Hi, did you know you can unlock the roof and truck with the key fob? You please unlock and then hold u lock and the roof will unlock with the truck. You can lock the roof by pressing unlock and then holding down unlock and the roof will lock, you still need to manually close the truck.
I just purchased a Cayman 218 GTS.... I'm kicking myself for not getting a manual. It's a 2018 year with 7 k miles The PDK trans is nice but I find myself reaching for the stick.
I have a 2003S Boxster and it has been a journey of enjoyment. The quality of the car and the sheer pleasure of the mid-engine noise is breathtaking. It's my tanning machine and in NC you can drive it at over 100 mph no problem as long as traffic is in rapid mode. Love the braking and everything about the car. I seen the design evolve but it still shows the 986 roots. Car might be a tad quicker but in the real world is just as good. I'm retired now and the thought of getting a new one is a no go situation I still enjoy the 986 tremendously and would rather spend my money traveling, that is if this infernal virus and politicians let us enjoy life again.
Awesome review Roger! I have two small questions about your sublime car- congratulations! 1. Many reviews complain about the long gearing, in your experience, does it detract from the pleasure of driving and wringing the car out on public roads? 2. Is it possible for a non-racing driver to reach the limits of grip of this car on the road and play around with it, or is sliding in the Spyder reserved for track days? Thank you!
Tommy Mician thanks, second gear is slightly long the rest fine, its great fun wringing out the gears brilliant fun, and slip sliding in the wet is very much on the cards - you need quick reflexes tho as that tails goes quickly ! in the dry the grip is very high, on track its even better.
All very well extolling the virtues of a great car but where can you buy one? Not mentioned in your film and possibly a prerequisite that it's not mentioned unless you are one of Porsche's 'special' customers! Look forward to what you say about that!!
good point Philip, I'm thinking my next vid on this car will cover this point, in short the Spyder and GT4 are looking good to be more available in 2020.
Congrats Roger! What a beautiful sexy car. If I could I would buy that before any 911 plus real sport cars should only have 2 seats. Thank you for sharing the excitement with us. Absolutely love that car. An epic classic for sure
Wow - congratulations, Roger! Great video - looking forward to more updates on this beautiful machine. I was thinking Boxster GTS but now wondering if I can stretch to a Spyder. Good on ya, mate - enjoy! 👍🏽
I’m anxiously waiting for delivery of mine. I traded my 2016 for this one and that was a glorious car as well. My dealership is allotted just one car (mine) so it appears their production numbers are quite limited. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your review.

John S Same here, each to their own and all that but it’s just his whole shtick, it makes my skin crawl 😂
That would put me off this wonderful car
I don't like Shmee I would have turned it off if he were the owner.
Roger CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m watching this while sitting half underwater at a swim up bar in Maui and folks have gathered around to see your video of the new baby!! So amazing and what a nice color. Cheers from Hawaii 🍺
wow how delightful, Hawaii is firmly on my wish list ! one day ! best wishes Roger
Roger spectacular, but we need to have a chat, where are the P11 bucket seats, and red calipers towards Miami blue? I love Porsche for making all our different tastes configurable. Keep up the good work Roger.
Janko well see my wife insisted on these seats, she struggles getting out of the buckets, and the brakes - an oversight now I see it in the metal, great hearing from you - thanks & best wishes, Roger
Janko you have experience with the 981 Spyder "I love it very much" as I recall. Will you do a comparison when you get your 718 Spyder please? Thanks.

Thanks Jake, really appreciate that
First owner video on RUclips! Great video as always Roger and congrats on stunning spec! Looking forward to more...

You're a lucky man Roger, she's a beauty! That's a lot of sports car there, nice video! Enjoyed that.
Thanks Stephen, glad to hear you enjoyed !
This is like a baby-Speedster, love it, would still probably buy the GT4 but the Spyder is one hell of a car
Congrats mate. What a car 😮
thanks Pete
Great video Roger. What a totally stunning and awesome car. Congratulations and enjoy. Look forward to seeing more of the Spyder.
Tartan Mac thanks, I'll post more vids on this car
Cracking video Roger, I'll be watching this a few times more, congrats on the new car

I’m off to sulk in silence 😪.

cheers Geof, yes it got me thinking last July, i was lucky to get a build slot
hahahahahahaha
Great review. I have a GT4 from 2015 and this is the only thing that has tempted me since owning the fabulous GT4.
I love the colour that you picked it looks amazing hope you have a great time with The Syder.🤩👍
cheers David 👍

Fingers crossed!
highly professional journalism and video craft all carried out single handedly you're a special guy roger bailey
Pedro 12345 thank you for saying that, means a lot reading this, cheers !
Pedro 12345 agreed
pretty sure that was the clutch releasing the smoke...:))) a damped surface like that would barely get any smoke off, especially if its a porsche
Really enjoyed this video. Fantastic looking car. Colour and spec look great. Looking forward to more video content.
thanks Mark - more vids to follow 👍
I would be a loon in that I’m bad enough in my 3.4 boxster , looks great love the colour
That Miami Blue fits so perfectly ....great choice!
thanks Trey
I have a Porsche Boxster S RS60 Spyder (Wow that is a mouth full!) This is great though and very tempting!
S RS60 Spyder looks superb, I dont thin I've seen one in the metal

best of luck with your fantastic new purchase. I'm looking forward to lots of updates now !!

Is this a sibling to the 991.2 Targa GTS or has that gone?
Safe driving!!
Thank you Weenson Oo Targa GTS has gone

I seen the design evolve but it still shows the 986 roots. Car might be a tad quicker but in the real world is just as good. I'm retired now and the thought of getting a new one is a no go situation I still enjoy the 986 tremendously and would rather spend my money traveling, that is if this infernal virus and politicians let us enjoy life again.
thanks for sharing this Roberto you have a great car and good to hear you're enjoying it - RB
Awesome review Roger!
I have two small questions about your sublime car- congratulations!
1. Many reviews complain about the long gearing, in your experience, does it detract from the pleasure of driving and wringing the car out on public roads?
2. Is it possible for a non-racing driver to reach the limits of grip of this car on the road and play around with it, or is sliding in the Spyder reserved for track days?
Thank you!
Tommy Mician thanks, second gear is slightly long the rest fine, its great fun wringing out the gears brilliant fun, and slip sliding in the wet is very much on the cards - you need quick reflexes tho as that tails goes quickly ! in the dry the grip is very high, on track its even better.
All very well extolling the virtues of a great car but where can you buy one? Not mentioned in your film and possibly a prerequisite that it's not mentioned unless you are one of Porsche's 'special' customers! Look forward to what you say about that!!
good point Philip, I'm thinking my next vid on this car will cover this point, in short the Spyder and GT4 are looking good to be more available in 2020.
Congratulations, Roger!
cheers Timo !
Congrats Roger! What a beautiful sexy car. If I could I would buy that before any 911 plus real sport cars should only have 2 seats. Thank you for sharing the excitement with us. Absolutely love that car. An epic classic for sure
Thanh Nguyen yes I agree a real sports car
Congratulations Roger, looks like a fabulous car.
Thanks Martin,
Great video! Your shots made me like that miami blue color jeje
thanks Renzo 👍
Wow - congratulations, Roger! Great video - looking forward to more updates on this beautiful machine. I was thinking Boxster GTS but now wondering if I can stretch to a Spyder. Good on ya, mate - enjoy! 👍🏽
thanks Neil ! you have a tough decision, the better residual value of the spyder is a consideration.
That looks amazing. Congratulations
thanks Alan
I’m anxiously waiting for delivery of mine. I traded my 2016 for this one and that was a glorious car as well. My dealership is allotted just one car (mine) so it appears their production numbers are quite limited. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your review.
well done in getting a build slot Tom, hope you enjoy !
