Porsche 718 Spyder
For Sale in Lincolnwood, IL
The Porsche 718 Spyder represents the most performance-focused open-top model within the 718 lineup. Engineered with direct input from Porsche’s GT division, the Spyder combines a naturally aspirated flat-six engine with a lightweight roadster platform. It emphasizes mechanical purity, high-revving response, and aerodynamic refinement while preserving the open-air driving experience.
Price: | Final MSRP from $103,400 (2023 model year)* |
Power: | 414 hp |
Acceleration: | 0-60 mph in 4.2 sec (6-speed manual)** |
Torque: | 309 lb-ft |
Availability: In the U.S., the 414-hp 718 Spyder was last offered for the 2023 model year and was followed by the 493-hp 718 Spyder RS for 2024 and 2025. Porsche has since concluded production of the gasoline-powered 718 models, so the 718 Spyder is now available through pre-owned and Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned inventory. Contact Porsche Lincolnwood for current availability.
The 718 Spyder is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 414 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque. The engine revs to 8,000 rpm and delivers linear, progressive power delivery without turbocharging. Acceleration from 0–60 mph occurs in approximately 4.2 seconds with the 6-speed manual transmission and slightly quicker with the available 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission.

Unlike standard 718 Boxster variants, the Spyder incorporates GT-specific chassis components. Suspension tuning is derived from the 718 Cayman GT4, including sport calibration and lowered ride height. Porsche Active Suspension Management is standard, providing performance-focused damping control while maintaining road usability.
Aerodynamic development differentiates the Spyder from other 718 models. A manually operated lightweight soft top reduces weight while preserving structural integrity. A distinctive rear spoiler and functional rear diffuser improve airflow management at speed. Front fascia revisions increase cooling efficiency for sustained high-performance driving.
Braking systems are upgraded to match the Spyder’s performance envelope. Large ventilated brake discs provide consistent stopping power, and available Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes further enhance fade resistance and reduce unsprung weight.
