Soon after introducing the world to the ultimate iteration of the Boxster in the shape of the very special 718 Spyder RS, Porsche has released a limited edition clock to match. The Porsche 718 Spyder RS will be the final 718 vehicle powered by a petrol engine. Priced at a whopping USD 162,150, the Porsche 718 Spyder is essentially a Cayman GT4 RS with its top removed. The fabric roof is retractable and operated by the driver, giving the car the allure of open-air driving. The Chronograph 718 Spyder RS is a limited-edition timepiece made by hand in Solothurn, Switzerland, and is sold only to automobile buyers. The Porsche Design Chronograph 718 Spyder RS has a casing made of titanium that is both lightweight and customizable in a variety of ways.

Porsche Design Chronograph 718 Spyder RS
As was previously noted, the Porsche Design Chronograph 718 Spyder RS is housed in a lightweight and versatile titanium case. The casing is available in natural titanium or black titanium, and the dial's coloured ring is available in both conventional and metallic sheens. With the Paint to Sample service, those who wish to stand out may have the dial finished in any of 114 different colours.
The new chronograph also has a carbon 'RS' dial and a black 'GT' dial with seven layers of anti-reflective coating to prevent scratches and glare. At 9 o'clock, a little mechanical gear indicator incorporates a chequered flag motif.
A black leather watchband is also included, with an attachment made from the same black Race-Tex fabric that lines the 718 Spyder interior. Customers have the option of switching out the leather strap for a titanium bracelet.
The price tag is understandably steep since the chronograph is exclusive to the 718 Spyder RS. The base price is $8,800 (Rs 7,23,048), but the cost goes up with more features and personalisation.

Porsche 718 Spyder RS
In most ways, the 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS resembles the 718 Cayman. It includes two wide doors with frameless windows, 20-inch forged wheels, and a fabric canopy that is removable and manually controlled. The inside has a vibrant two-tone design. Standard features include lightweight carbon fibre racing bucket seats with a carbon-weave finish, leather upholstery in Arctic Grey and Carmine Red, a flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters, fabric door straps, and an all-digital instrument cluster.
The same 4.0-litre naturally aspirated six-cylinder Boxer engine seen in the 911 GT3 powers the 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS. The engine has been fine-tuned to produce 493bhp and 450Nm of peak torque. A 7-speed PDK gearbox performs gearbox duties. The Porsche 718 Spyder RS can match the Cayman GT4 RS's acceleration times of 3.4 seconds to 100km/h and 10.9 seconds to 200km/h. Its peak speed is 308km/h, which is about 7km/h slower than the coupe.
