Thanks Roger for the review, appreciated. OMG the color alone, 4 liter 450 hp in 6 speed manual and looking better than the Speedster. The GT3 aero into a Spyder body is this the best looking car on the market with the performance to match, no kidding.
Roger CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m watching this while sitting half underwater at a swim up bar in Maui and folks have gathered around to see your video of the new baby!! So amazing and what a nice color. Cheers from Hawaii 🍺
Came here unpretentiously looking after Porsche 718 / Cayman reviews. Found out and amazing car and a simple but very well made and honest video presented by this nice gentleman. Nice on Roger, Abraços from Brasil!!
TheCarGuys.TV thanks, I'm very much looking forward to seeing your spyder vid, what will you think of the roof operation and it's wet weather traction ?? 😊👍
Great car Roger, looks great in that shade of blue. Just taken delivery of a 992 s from PORSCHE Chester and watching your videos helped us make. the decision over a R8. Your great presentation skills stopped us from moving over to the dark side.
Thank you, its great to hear this, I'm sure you will enjoy your 992 there's nothing else quite like it, Oh and I'm hoping Porsche Chester see your comment ! - best wishes, Roger
Roger spectacular, but we need to have a chat, where are the P11 bucket seats, and red calipers towards Miami blue? I love Porsche for making all our different tastes configurable. Keep up the good work Roger.
Janko well see my wife insisted on these seats, she struggles getting out of the buckets, and the brakes - an oversight now I see it in the metal, great hearing from you - thanks & best wishes, Roger
@@gsthree9534 I hope Roger will have the same opportunity. I'm happy you view his videos as well as mine. FYI I will have a head to head with 981 Spyder VS the 718 Spyder. Also with the 718 GT4. Thanks for watching my and Rogers channel and for subscribing to us both.
Great spec and color - would look at home here in SoCal. I've had the 981 Spyder for a few years and was sceptical about the 718 GT4 as the particulate filters seemed to really dull the sound. Your Spyder sounds much better for some reason. Pretty much the same performance as the 981 Spyder. Thanks Roger, a great way to start the day.
its great the way you put these vidoes together it must take ages to do, its well worth it though, this spyder looks amazing and is now on my wish list
07.15 raining cats and dogs here in south yorkshire this morning.Roger you have brightened my day with this beautiful video well done on your new purchase drive safe.👍
Well done you Roger, for the week following the launch I couldn’t get a night’s sleep thinking about the new Spyder. It’s an absolute stunner. Look forward to seeing your journey in the future. I’m off to sulk in silence 😪. Geof
Great video Roger! Really enjoyed the excitement of your new Spyder. My favorite car by Porsche, a gt3 with top down fun. I can't wait to get one in my driveway! Thanks for the great videos, keep up the great work!
Nice video and even better car Roger, that Miami blue colour makes it look even more special. I'm a big Porsche fan, currently owning a 986 and a gen 2 997. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing how your adventures in your Spyder go.
Roger, I have this exact car brother...just got it and am lovin it. Thought to myself, what would be the perfect car? “Well a normally aspirated GT3 engine with a manual gearbox and a convertible...” oh wait, it exists in the Speedster but I don’t have 300k so found out about the Spyder and couldn’t be happier with it. Great video. Preachin to the choir...
Congratulations on an awesome looking and preforming car. Love the color! Love the burnout! There’s a lot to be said for naturally aspirated engine reaching 8000 rpm’s. Who cares that it’s a little noisy inside as the exhaust is music to my ears. Manual transmission to boot! Have fun in your new car Roger, it’s a beauty...
Your videos are brilliant and the Spyder productions in no small part inspired me to choose one for myself-python green, but I was very taken with Miami Blue. Delighted whenever you upload new videos. Thank you.
Roger, I am blaming you for something really exciting, I placed my order last year after watching your video and got my allocation this week. So excited, February built and late April or early May delivery. I am ordering the JCR NON SILENCED EXHAUST today. Thank you so much for your great video. From Canada
@@RogerBaileyOnCars There is a glitch to the configuration system for weeks now so you wont able to see my actual upgrade. My added options are: -Wheels Painted in Black Satin -Door Handles in Black (High Gloss) -Fire Extinguisher -Stitching in contrasting colour -Full Bucket Seats -Decorative stitching in Contrasting colour -Bi Xenon Main Headlights in Black
Thank you for putting together a truly informative video, the first time I have heard the exhaust note properly 😁 Sounds sublime and looks stunning, perfect specification 👌
Beautiful car, not sure I'd be doing a prolonged burn out bouncing it off the rev limiter especially with Porsche and their rev range reports, but I'm glad you did it for us on video, bet you can't wait for a road trip next spring/ summer 👍🏻
Quite a lot of cars, just do not match their colour. However... For this little beauty, the colour really makes it. It's a stunning motor RB with not the slightest hint of jealousy on my part. And great video editing too. You, Petrol Ped and Howard Ritchie should be doing TopGear together. The three of you would do an outstanding job. Looking forward to more videos to come from the 718 :-))... Your No1 Stalker.
I have a 2003S Boxster and it has been a journey of enjoyment. The quality of the car and the sheer pleasure of the mid-engine noise is breathtaking. It's my tanning machine and in NC you can drive it at over 100 mph no problem as long as traffic is in rapid mode. Love the braking and everything about the car. I seen the design evolve but it still shows the 986 roots. Car might be a tad quicker but in the real world is just as good. I'm retired now and the thought of getting a new one is a no go situation I still enjoy the 986 tremendously and would rather spend my money traveling, that is if this infernal virus and politicians let us enjoy life again.
Like the superiority of a mechanical watch over a Quartz watch so is the superiority of the naturally aspirated engine over a turbocharged engine. Nice to see Porsche building a real analogue car as oppose to the digital cars that we are now used to these days.
I am blue with Envy. Honestly a beautiful choice Roger, and once again great video. Looking forward to your thoughts on this vs the GTS once you get more time behind the wheel. Enjoy your new car
Congrats Roger! What a beautiful sexy car. If I could I would buy that before any 911 plus real sport cars should only have 2 seats. Thank you for sharing the excitement with us. Absolutely love that car. An epic classic for sure
thanks for this video... i finally got my alloocation for 2022 Dec delivery.. .love the blue but went with the classic GT SIlver with classic spyder interior... cant wait!
Congratulations for choosing this gem and getting it that early! ...and thank you so much for sharing your present and future impressions - especially in regard of the wet grip of the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires... ;-) Have you the opportunity to test the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S with this car? ...please...
@@RogerBaileyOnCars I hope that you drive carefully enough to stay in the comfort zone of joy - even in wet conditions. Could you please give me a favor and tell me which type of battery is found in the car (lead or lithium) and the specifications (size, capacity)? I always dream the dream of weight saving possibilities... ...and could you also please check the ground clearance? Sorry to ask some profane questions, but after I watched your video, I can not wait to drive that car into my garage (which has a steep ramp).
it's great seeing so many comments, thank you for your interest, if I may answer a couple of common points mentioned; the Porsche handbook recommends running in the engine which I am doing with the brief exceptions shown here in this video, although dealers say running in is not necessary. I didn't option bucket seats as my wife struggles with them, and accelerating hard on a damp road WITHOUT lighting up the rear tyres and bouncing off the rev limiter will take practice as engine torque is huge, Can I tempt you to subscribe ? link here :- ua-cam.com/users/RogerBaileyOnCars subscriber numbers, likes and comments keep me scrounging cars to film ! thanks for looking in - Cheers ! Roger :-) ua-cam.com/users/RogerBaileyOnCars
I’m anxiously waiting for delivery of mine. I traded my 2016 for this one and that was a glorious car as well. My dealership is allotted just one car (mine) so it appears their production numbers are quite limited. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your review.
Roger fond farewell to the Targa The 718 Spyder is a modern collectible. You’ve done well my friend and while it comes as no surprise I must admit I had thought a 992 with its added practicality might have inched ahead in the final decision. Keep enjoying 😀
I haven't posted my spec I'm not sure where it is right now, probably in an email somewhere, as for the spoiler I am very aware of its lowness but not touched it as yet !
Wow - congratulations, Roger! Great video - looking forward to more updates on this beautiful machine. I was thinking Boxster GTS but now wondering if I can stretch to a Spyder. Good on ya, mate - enjoy! 👍🏽
Stunning car and well shot video. Would love to get my hands on one and agree the car has no competition at this price point. If Porsche centre Chester have any allocations going spare then contact me! Enjoy the car.
I bought my 718 Boxster on the back of one of your previous videos! Great video once again... ...tell me, whereabouts can I find these roads? Want to take my 718 there! Many thanks.
Very nice car. I had to turn the volume off when the engine was loud because I do not want to hear its noise before the delivery of mine in several weeks in France.
Congratulations on a fantastic sports car! Probably the one besides the GT3 Touring I’d like the most to be in my garage! But isn’t a run-in period required on a brand new car before lighting up the rear tires?
Roger Bailey could be wise to be kind to it first 2-4000km. I try to change the first oil at around first 7000km, then follow the recommended intervals
Strange. A friend of mine actually has a 991.3 GT3RS and there is a km counter ticking down telling him to keep revs low until the km mark has been reached.
Stefan Grubesic , yes agree but for sure depending where you live, S. CA, S. Of Spain, Monaco, you name it, i would prefer the Spyder if not only for the looks.
Massive congrats Roger. I kinda knew it was one of these from your reply in the last video. Stunning car and I am sure well worth the wait. Will I be right in thinking this one will be a keeper or have you already got your sights set on something else (*992 GT3 cough*). When that launches? 😀. In any case I look forward to the videos.
I was expecting Shmee to jump out from around the corner and shout 'welcome to my new shmeemobile, a great addition to my 178 current cars!'
John S Same here, each to their own and all that but it’s just his whole shtick, it makes my skin crawl 😂
That would put me off this wonderful car
I don't like Shmee I would have turned it off if he were the owner.
This is like a baby-Speedster, love it, would still probably buy the GT4 but the Spyder is one hell of a car
Thanks Roger for the review, appreciated. OMG the color alone, 4 liter 450 hp in 6 speed manual and looking better than the Speedster. The GT3 aero into a Spyder body is this the best looking car on the market with the performance to match, no kidding.
I've been waiting for a decent review of the 718 Spyder and here it is, thanks, great video
Thanks Jake, really appreciate that
First owner video on UA-cam! Great video as always Roger and congrats on stunning spec! Looking forward to more...

Great review. I have a GT4 from 2015 and this is the only thing that has tempted me since owning the fabulous GT4.
Mine is being built right now and your video just heightened the anticipation. Can’t wait.
great news, you'll love it !
Cracking video Roger, I'll be watching this a few times more, congrats on the new car

Keep enjoying 😀
Congratulations Roger, I ordered a Miami Spyder with black wheels too and think it looks great - have lots of fun in it.
Cheers & Great choice Dave !
Boom!

Stunning car and well shot video. Would love to get my hands on one and agree the car has no competition at this price point. If Porsche centre Chester have any allocations going spare then contact me! Enjoy the car.

360 eyes road trips you are in for a treat
Congratulations on a fantastic sports car! Probably the one besides the GT3 Touring I’d like the most to be in my garage! But isn’t a run-in period required on a brand new car before lighting up the rear tires?
Nord Mann thanks Porsche advise no running in period necessary, although I've been easy on it apart from the scenes in the video
Roger Bailey could be wise to be kind to it first 2-4000km. I try to change the first oil at around first 7000km, then follow the recommended intervals
Run in is only suggested in the US ... we have too many attorneys looking for work.
Strange. A friend of mine actually has a 991.3 GT3RS and there is a km counter ticking down telling him to keep revs low until the km mark has been reached.
Stefan Grubesic , yes agree but for sure depending where you live, S. CA, S. Of Spain, Monaco, you name it, i would prefer the Spyder if not only for the looks.
