The six-cylinder boxer engine, with its cylinder displacement of 4.0 litres, revs up to 9,000 rpm and generates an output of 368 kW (500 PS) and a maximum torque of 450 Newton meters. The powertrain of the new 718 Spyder RS is identical to that of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS coupe.

The same lightweight power unit with its high-revving design also powers the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racing car.
