The type of people buying these will not be driving with the roof up, ever - and Porsche know that. And, no one is getting one of these for retail price. $150k would be an extreme discount. These will be $200k+ cars, hoovered up by the ultra wealthy as part of their 5+ car garage, driven exclusively on summer days where the risk of rain is 0. Besides, there's no way a folding mechanism would fit in the smaller roof compartment. GT engine, more airflow needed, less space to work with. This is the only configuration this car was ever going to exist in, but like I said, Porsche don't care because the roof is academic to the owners. Rain is a problem for Bob down the road, not for Spyder RS owners.

What you're saying only makes sense if you have a mental disability and are unable to create new memories. Even so, I'd imagine people like this would have a manual on the seat or something to remember how to take the roof off. It's a maximum 2 minute procedure if doing it alone. The roof is great - can be used without the rear part to let more sound in and on a nice day can be left home completely to save weight.

Not sure why the comparision being oft referenced is a standard boxster rather than the boxster Spyder.

Hi Mr. Watson and thank you for the video, It is one hell of a nice car for sure, I love it, but I have a little niggle with it, I feel the roof should be electronically operated, If it rains and you have to put the roof up in a hurry, before you can get it properly up, you will probably be dripping wet.

Thanks for this video, always a pleasure to see you review cars. I love mechanics, I love nice looking cars even if I don't have the means to buy one, I can rent one from time to time but, in modern days 3.62s (or close to this number) can be achieved with a cheaper EV, that's evolution, you lose the soul, the sound, the smell, the mechanical part, but EV's made sports car available to the masses and it's not as bad as it sounds.

Honestly, it took me a long time to go from 911 to boxsters and caymans. I did not want to hear about anything else than 911, I was this kind of owner. I have no shame admitting I was wrong after 15 years that saw 3 more 911 in the garage. I went for a Cayman R first, and this thing gave me so much more than my 911S. Then I had a gts and then a boxster spyder. I dont think I will go back to the 911, especially when there are Cayman gt4 rs available on the market.

Reminded me of driving around the Peak District in my mates mg midget in my salad days, having to rush putting the roof up, clipping like fifty press studs and clamps before the sudden rain destroyed the electrics

holy crap. This is the one to collect. Not the gt4rs.

Interesting, you need to spend this much money, to get a sportscar with an Ikea convertible roof. Works great for furniture, not so sure when you need to go through all this trouble when trying to get the roof up and down. Once the roof is down, the time it takes, the weather could have switched from sunny to rain. 😅
