Henry Catchpole reviews the new Porsche 718 Spyder on the road in Scotland. Watch part 1 of this film with the new 718 Cayman GT4 here: bit.ly/2YAxmYt It's the first Spyder to be a GT4 car. It has the same engine and performance, a manual gearbox and the ability for you to feel the wind in your hair. Is it any good? What do you think?

Henry always finds the best driving roads and for this film he hasn't let us down. After having driven the 718 GT4 out on track it was time to take the Spyder version out on roads to experience everything it has to offer.

I honestly think Porsche nailed it with the spyder. It’s got that Boxter-esque shape and feel, but with subtle hints from the 918. I have no doubt this car is going to fare extremely well in the luxury convertible market.

Preston Taylor it’s not “that” 4.0 we are familiar with from the GT3. Its actually a bored out Carrera motor without turbos. Honestly it should have even more power, this is the same HP/L of the naturally aspirated E92 M3. I know it may have more torque down low and complies with new emissions regulations that weren’t in place for the BMW, but I expect more from Porsche engineers, and think this car is again limited to not absolutely roast similarly priced 911s.

The quality of the videography is outstanding and along with Henry’s stylish narration, it’s always a welcome addition to my week’s viewing. GT4 vs the Spyder ? As a Cayman owner I’ve surprised myself............ it has to be the Spyder. The chances of getting one this year without getting “reamed” are not likely, but there’s always next year.

@Carfection and @Henry Catchpole, excellent part 2. You delivered. Agree, Spyder all day long. It’s a bigger step/upgrade from the 981. It’s really 2 cars in 1, now that it has performance and dynamic parity with the GT4. So will be great on track, but you have the beauty of being able to drop the roof. Track work, and then go home pick up the over half and pull up at swanky restaurant like a boss. Could easily be your one car to do it all.

Manual, roof off, big engine, NA, we’re in 2021 right?! Totally desirable and ‘only’ £75k with no doubt fairly rock hard residuals to come. Also, I love the roof!
