The 2025 Porsche Spyder RS ($192,600 starting in Canada, $164,200 starting in the US) is a mid-engine roadster with the same 4.0L flat six engine as found in the 911 GT3. And with that engine comes a screaming 9,000 rpm redline, 493 horsepower through natural aspiration, and a 3.2 second claimed 0-60 mph time. But with softer suspension than a GT4 RS and a removable roof, where does the Spyder RS fit into Porsche’s lineup? And how does it compare to something like a C8 Z06 Corvette? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

That intro... pure gold!
"Your name, number, and go f*** yourself" 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I liked that it was followed by "car reviews evolved" 😂
The intro was spot on. I visited a Porsche dealer on the east coast. The sales staff treated us like we were bothering them.
Same here in Chicago
Oh wow so it's a universal experience - same here in the Philippines too. The security guard manning the door begrudgingly let us in. The guy delivering their mail had easier access than we did.
Audi is probably the only VAG company that treats people with class. Even just trying to by a Golf is an exercise in grovelling.
@@shAdOwstAlkEr945 Luxury goods companies rely on making you feel uncomfortable so that you feel obligated to prove you belong
@@HeliRy I'd guess it's more a geographical and peoples' matter than it is a company matter when it comes to bad dealers, because a company can only go so far to intervene with dealers. Because, for every flawed dealer a manufacturer has, that manufacturer probably has 5 more good ones. It just takes some searching and positive word of mouth from fellow customers and visitors. I've said before and I'll still mention that all three of our local Porsche dealers here in the metro Atlanta area have been phenomenal in how they treat their customers.
The best part of every Porsche TH review is hearing James say Weissach.
It's beautifully refreshing hearing anglophones pronouncing the kh (or the ch - like in weissach) correctly. Very much appreciated
Throttle House… I have something to say.
You have quickly become my favourite channel.
Welcome to the club 🍻
i always have somwthing to say. Give me the 6 infinity dollers so i may purchase 50% of the porsche boxyer RS in the world
the intro had me DYING. i just can't get enough of this channel
5:44 "Proper, real, mechanical, viceral race car noises" and then quick cuts afterwards - god tier editing!
Sounds to me like there should be a Spyder RS vs Z06 vs Audi R8 comparison........DO IT
4:19 "Dropp three gears in a second" and then pure music!
Best review I've seen yet. I love the genuine reactions and enthusiasm. I have to tell you, I've owned this car for a few months now, and that feeling you guys expressed, is how I feel EVERY SINGLE TIME I take a drive, whether it be a spirited one or just a cruise. It's the most exhilarating car ever.
Whoa! Is this a guy that actually smiles in an expensive car?
throttle house has become one of my favorite channels to watch, keep up the amazing content!
As a porsche employee, I approve of this video. The Spyder RS is by far my favourite modern Porsche. Love the top down experience with that SCREAMING 4.0. BUT, that roof is a pain in the back side to put up 😂
How much is your employee discount on one of these 😂
@inspectorvoid 5% 😂 BUT we cant buy one. Because were not VIPs lol.
@@EconomicsMate1 🤣
I left Porsche sales shortly after the 997.2 came to market. (I became a firefighter) lol…amazing company to work for.
@@lamontgarnesjr4638 totally agree mate. Ive been there for 2 years now. Best company Ive worked for. I worked for Mercedes prior. Was ok, but it changed after the agency model came out. And thanks for your service to keeping the community safe mate 🫡 legend
You had me at "That was just a butthole..." 🤣
Plugs are for (four) butts.
"You don't take your Spyder RS to the track." (I have PURE 5000km track time in it :D, and additional 10'000km road)
Soft top: yeah problem sometimes but 99% of the time you're not in a rush to put it up or take it down. It takes MAX 1 minute after you done it 5 times. SOmetimes I even leave it at home or store it top down.
Too loud for daily: not at all. When you go under 4000rpm not loud at all BUT a 8th gear just for highway would be good because it will rev 4000rpm all the time.
Allocation problem: wasn't a problem. I simply went in and ordered one brand new. And never had a prosche before.
Why you messed up the soft top: Because you didn't clipped the end of the soft top to the metal bar. That's a key to help posiotion the top under the trunk.
(BTW there is a QR code on the soft top how shoudl you do it)
And no it will not go up to 9000rpm like none of these. Not the Gt4RS not the GT3 not the GT3RS. "only" 8'900rpm. (You can read it out from the ECU log.)
Weird things:
- shaking rear when you brake on the limit. (track)
- The vision from the car is not as good as people think. The dash itself is too high up. Of course way better than a Huracan or R8 etc but still nope. The 718 platform itself have this "issue".
- rock chip will stuck between the wheel and the caliper and will cut your rims around. :( (I have it with the magnesium wheels)
- I lost multiple small pastic parts from the car randomly... :/ 2 fins which is at the wheel arch, and 1 plastic behind the seat behind the headrest..
- the seat is freakin good but I would ALSO love to have more tilt in it. Because when you have a helmet it's not comfortable at all.
- it will chew through brakes like no tomorrow and it's not cheap.
- how it comes out from the corners that's like insane! For me the was the most impressing thing (after the sound).
Please pin this
Porsche makes the only automatic transmission that I would legitimately not be upset if I had to chose it over a manual.
The shifts are so quick!
They figure a skilled driver will lose ½ second per manual shift. Guess that really adds up after a few track laps.
So many people hate on the top, but I love it. You can drive the car fully enclosed, Bimini top on only (so you can hear the intakes without getting fried in the sun), or full removed.
Super exciting car and I’m glad they made it, significantly more comfortable than a 4RS or GT3 for street driving - and you get a convertible! Big fan
This, but you have to own the car and try it. I love mine
@@bill9629 I have been fortune enough to put 2900 miles on mine and counting
TH videos just keep getting better and better. The skits, the editing, the production level. Been subbed for 2 years ain’t going nowhere. Keep up the good work guys.
As someone who will NEVER get to drive this car, I can still get the feeling through this video. They do an amazing job conveying the true thrill of driving a machine that is made for a single reason and nothing else. PURE ENJOYMENT
You can. Just change your thinking and work towards it . Nothing is impossible
Throttle House, the most underrated channel for car enthusiasts. yall deserve over 10M subs
Agreed hands down you guys got a real good vibe. Can’t wait to meet you with my s2000 whenever you get to sf bay
If not more! 🙌🏼
They're perfect to fill the void of the clarkson, hammond and may
PROS: “Perfect race car….This places somewhere at the very top of the hallowed halls of Porsche history….compromised,confused, wonderful….dripping in desirability.”
CON: “You can’t use yourself”
I just love your reviews. They always seem the right mix of fun, road test and tech talk. I watch a good few car review channels and there are many good ones, but for me you’re out in front. Your chemistry just works so well, I went back and watched your very first video together and it seems to have instantly worked instantly.
Massive fan of the 718, but I am biased as I have one. Mine is a 2017 and the interior is simply perfect.
It’s crazy like we know how special a Porsche product is just seeing they’re presentation photos. It’s this car’s case and the S/T’s. And they’re one of a few that bring those cars full of joy and almost perfect like this.
Thank you throttle house for de-stressing me after a hard workday! I was so angry and frustrated but all I needed was clicking this video 😊
I was going to sleep, but then I saw throttle house uploaded 2 seconds ago.
The intro is so funny to watch actually 😂👍
You guys nailed it in the intro….The 718 Spyder RS makes no sense in the RS family. Porsche should’ve dropped the last letter and called it the “718 Spyder R” (or anything else without the RS) with the GT3 6spd manual.
Agreed. This is B "M" W's fault, where the M stands for marketing.
R would stand for something different entirely, but I can imagine them calling this an S/T. But since this is also not a limited production car, they have to give two shits on marketability and there you go
The sound from the interior is just INCREDIBLE. No more words needed !!
Another best car review video you guys have done this year so far, reviewing the Porsche Spyder RS!!!🤩
Hands down you guys are the top reviewers, knowledge, energy and a true passion…..
I love how much care and attention you pay to the audio, so many car channels just ignore it
This channel just gets better and better. Nice seeing James contributing some valued English wry humour along with Thomas and the fantastic canadian 🇨🇦 vistas
The pure joy of driving that car comes through in the video so clearly. Your just giggling like children, so great!
Fantastic review gents. This is a random comment to boost your channel engagement but imagine if Porche brought back the 944, it’s been a while since there’s been a Front engine Porsche sports car. Imagine the 944 turbo coming back front mid engine turbo straight four with a rear trans axle and fantastic handling.
With modern Porsche styling, and a bit cheaper than boxster, that would be so freaking cool
It's called an 86, cheaper than anything Porsche would ever make. Even has a boxer engine lol. Honestly a spiritual successor to the 944 in many ways, ofc just not a Porsche.
We need more of James and Thomas together in a car, I love their pairing sooooo much !
From day one the spyder came out, I literally dreamt that Porsche was doing a RS version of it. And now it’s real. My absolute dream car. I would take it over any other sport/hyper car
the intro was absolutely diabolical
oi
The fact the the valves weren't open and it was still this loud is insanity
This channel is quite possibly the best on RUclips! Great job fellas!
Thank you for making this video. Thank you for sharing the giggling glee that is driving this car. I loved and shared every second of the experience. ADMs are coming down, so the FU for asking for one is now just lower case, instead of all caps. 😂
You pretty much nailed the summary (I am lucky enough to own one), and as my friend put it …it is peak ICE experience. It truly is that good. (And loud; I have noise canceling headphones for my gf for extended aggressive driving lol) On the highway with sport exhaust off, it’s no louder than any other convertible sports car, I don’t think.
Love you guys’ content. Be safe and well.
PS I do wish you had taken a hot lap time. It is still an RS and would be wickedly quick. Embarrassingly quick against other dedicated cars? Maybe. Did Porsche make you promise not to time a lap? lol
You two are the Canadian spiritual successors to the original Top Gear. Thank you for that!
I really really really Saskatchewant that car. Peak Porsche, peak sports car. 😍
Always the best intros! For those who can't afford an RS or simply are unable to get one (because Porsche), can always grab a new Gold Wing motorcycle. No, it's not as fast, doesn't rev as high, but it has that flat 6 sound. That being said, this car is really really cool!
Thanks for dropping this video - was a nice break from hurricane prep this am!! (Watching from central Florida in the hours left before all h3ll breaks after Milton crashes into us...)
The exuberance of this video, amazing! Great review! Great car! Want!!!!
The Spyders going to go down as one of Porsches best creations for sure, no bad angles and so much fun.
THOSE ALLOYS ARE AMAZING
That intro sounded like an authentic experience 😂
these outtakes at the end give me Rush Hour vibes and I'm here for it!
Haha, that intro. That machine is just pure joy.
11:06 Glorious!
Come on gents buy one as the “Throttle House” test car!
This is the funnest car Porsche makes right now
8:10 what a sick photo: of the hand and watch through the windscreen.
This is an excellent car. The intro was hilarious.
Dear chaps,
Top intro,
Top motor,
Top review,
No notes!
Keep her lit gentlemen (Northern Irish for pedal to the metal)
Big cuddles
Conall ❤
This is when engineers gather around and just decide to make the most fun and amazing car they can, and actually leave the sales to the marketing department. i like that
1:24 To be fair, when NASCAR was young, they did have a class specifically for convertibles, so it's not like there haven't been any convertible racecars before. And of course, we can't forget about the many topless race cars that used to be pretty common on racetracks all over Europe, particularly in endurance racing
Great review! Thanks guys. Btw, 493 bhp, 500 hp. Metric = hp, imperial = bhp. The German PS, Pferdestark, translates to English "Horse Power". In Finland we say HV, hevosvoima, which translates, you guessed it, horse power, hp. In Swedish they call it hk, hästekraft, and yes, it means horse power 😅. All metric. So no need to call the metric horse power "PS" in English (you didn't, but many do). Well, the whole concept of "horse power" is old relic and as we all know it's the kilowatts which is the official metric measurement. But I kind of like the old silly horse power scale 😊. Oh, yes, my Spyder RS is currently standing at the local Porsche Center. Delivery day is due soon 🤗. Btw, "the Tex Mex -thing" 😂😂👌.
I was not expecting the face time intro to go that way….. I may have lost some breakfast from laughter. Oh, and the review was good too.
Background music has me feeling like I’m going crazy a little bit
Okay that intro was pure quality.
This is there TexMex thing! Haha
That's a musical instrument, not a car, but it teleports
Love the outtakes, you guys were hilarious! Awesome car too, I’d risk my ear drums for it!
I have to admit I gave up with Porsche as a brand since when I had a Boxster and a Cayenne, went to local dealer and asked about a GT3. The salesman was “polite” and said “well I can take a deposit but you’ll be the 100th on the wait list and I’m only getting 7 this year” 🤷🏻♂️ …. So I bought a McLaren 570 Spyder instead…but that’s another (other than the depreciation, a happy) story.
I have a 911 and I agree that the Spyder looks better - there is nothing to apologize for Thomas. I also agree that the interior is just about perfect. Most modern cars have gone stupid with their interiors. This is functional, easy to use, and gives you what you need to enjoy the driving experience.
those downshifts can play a lullaby
Duck Tails! Ooowooowooo
I hate the decisions porsche is making but goddamn that colour and style works..
got a chance to see one of these this past weekend. BEAUTIFUL car in person
Wait till you guys get to drive the RS Clubsport. Now that's a car
Thomas is slowly becoming Jezza... look at those bracelets!
man that intro! i feel like if you call a porshe dealer asking this question that's what they'll literally tell you lol
Porsche sales Saskatchewan, all the Porsches you could ever Saskatchewant is the funniest blooper/line I have ever heard!!
"Perfect sports car" - agreed. This is tied with the 750S for most enjoyable road car, for me.
Throttle house uploaded it’s gone be a good day today
I have never been so excited and jealous of a fucking gearbox 😂 this is what every DCT wishes it was
I still don't understand why people want a gt3 or gt4 rs over the spyder. It looks better, sounds great, and you can use it more, it seems. It's been my dream car since it came out.
Glorious! Keep 'em coming.
Love it!! Keep up the great work.
Its not typical for a car through video alone to be so desirable based off what you here, and how the reviewers are responding to it. I’m convinced, I’ll take 20.
My FAVOURITE RUclips channel! The intro’s are absolute gold! Thank you, TH. Like if you agree… 👍🏼
Holy crap those shifts are pure savagery. Like it’s trying to rip itself out of the car. Wow. We can all dream.
The only convertible I would ever consider, chef’s kiss!
As a Saskatchewanian, this is absolute gold! Throttle House joining the likes of Deadpool 😂
Tremendous episode chaps well done!
It’s simple really. I see there’s a new throttlehouse video, I select it. I press like. I now have a good morning
No cowl shake must be nice. My e46 330 absolutely shivers on nice Florida roads.
I have one paired with a 992 GT3…this Spyder RS is unique…had regular Spyder before with manual, cannot compare with this crazy kid
James saying "so naughty" is so passionate 😂
James Dean would approve 👍
I literally rolled my eyes when I heard the rev hold for the launch because it sounds so absurd in the best way possible
Lol. The intro was 🔥.
I am a simple man, when I see a Throttle House video, I click, I watch, I laugh, I like, and I share
Ah yes the Porsche 718 "we swear it's not an overpriced turbo miata with a porsche badge" Spyder RS
…..that you could Seskatchawant 😂 omg that was magical
Best throttle house video yet
There , I said it !
Thank you for making my day.
Thomas assessment: "At the very top of the hallowed halls of Porsche history." And all of us reply, AMEN!
Drops from 5th to 3rd
"doo doo doooo"
Me "when the niyeeght.. Has come 🎶"
2:05 i felt the same when i heard the mixture of RS and convertible. Arrrggghh!!
