Combined with a short-ratio seven-speed PDK twin-clutch automatic transmission, the Spyder RS hurtles from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOptional looks package and of course, a matching watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An optional Weissach visual package is available for the Spyder RS. The package does not include but enables ultra-light real magnesium wheels to be ordered. The package includes titanium tailpipes, exposed carbon fiber on the hood, carbon fiber combustion air scoops on the sides, and a carbon fiber Gurney flap on the rear spoiler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visual highlight inside the car is that the upper part of the dashboard is covered with Race-Tex rather than leather. The seat headrests gain embroidered \u201cWeissach\u201d logos, and the cloth top gains an embossed Weissach logo. Porsche did not specify a price for all that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a final bit of bling, buyers of the Porsche 718 Spyder RS can purchase a handcrafted watch, which Porsche calls a \u201cchronograph\u201d created by Porsche Design and made by the Porsche watchmaking operation in Solothurn, Switzerland. Designed to match the configuration of the car, the case is made of titanium, the dial is made of carbon fiber and the strap is made of vehicle leather. The rotor on the back reflects the wheel design on the 718 Spyder RS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
