Five years later came the 550, as the legendary Spyder. Fast forward four years and the 718 was born. An unromantic beginning, then. But this little car’s name would soon be written large on the race track and, eventually, on the streets. Work first began on the Porsche 718 RSK in the winter of 1956 to have it ready for the 1957 racing season.

The previous iteration of the car known as the Porsche Boxster Spyder was based on very different design principles than the incoming version.

Besides the glaringly obvious, the 718 Cayman GT4 and Boxster 718 Spyder share the same DNA and are both proper representatives of Porsche’s storied motorsport heritage. The only notable difference besides the Spyder having a soft top, would be the rear spoilers on each car. At a cursory glance, the GT4 looks more single-purpose for track duties, w...

Porsche Of The Day: 1970 Porsche 908/03 Spyder. The 908/3 prototype was built for the sole purpose of winning the Targa Florio and Nürburgring legs of the world Championship. The 908 specialized in lightweight design through the use of a 48 lbs titanium space frame and 26 lbs body.
