Throttle House gave the 2025 Porsche Spyder RS a strong positive review with an OctaneScore of 68/100, praising it as an exceptionally thrilling driver's car that delivers on its promises. The standout strengths are its flawless performance—featuring a naturally aspirated GT3 4.0L flat-6 that revs to 9,000 RPM with a PDK transmission that drops three gears in a second—combined with an impressive suspension setup that provides confidence without harshness, and solid build quality with traditional physical controls throughout the interior. However, the value proposition is severely hampered by expensive optional packages like the Visak magnesium wheels and Porsche's paywalling of allocations, while practical concerns include center lock wheels that are inconvenient for weekend driving and the lack of wireless CarPlay. This car is strictly for wealthy enthusiasts who prioritize raw driving emotion and exclusivity over practicality and financial sensibility.
