The Spyder RS will sit atop the 718 range, and while it’s certainly focused on performance and driving thrills, it doesn’t mean it’ll be short on basic comforts and conveniences inside. Porsche notes that the interior is functional with only the ergonomic essentials, however. You’ll find a Race-Tex GT Sport steering wheel with a yellow 12-o’clock marker and two full buckets seats covered in black leather with perforated center panels. The inserts can be had in red or Arctic Grey
The seats in the Porsche 718 Spyder RS come with partial power adjustment as in the GT4 RS, and are made of lightweight CFRP in a carbon weave finish. The cabin is strewn with model-identifying embroidery, and the Weissach Pack will add bespoke embroidered logos on the headrests and cloth top.
The instrument dials are special in terms of color and logo. Features like automatic climate control, cruise control, park assist with a reverse camera, a 4.6-inch color instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and HD Radio, and the RS-bonus Track Precision App will likely be included as standard, and buyers will probably have the same upgrade options for the sound system as you’d have in the regular 718 Spyder. This means Bose and Burmester setups should be available – or you could save 13 lbs by opting for the sound system delete entirely. We’d be quite happy to hear nothing but the flat-six, personally, though.
As for cargo space in the Porsche 718 RS Spyder, it mirrors the standard 718 Spyder. That means a luggage compartment front (5.2 cubic feet) and rear (4.2 cubic feet), along with storage space in each door, and two cupholders. It doesn’t really matter, though, as no one will be buying one of these to carry any cargo, other than the helmet and gloves you need for a track day.
