Driving The Porsche 718 Spyder RS And Ariel Atom 4R

The Porsche 718 Spyder RS epitomizes automotive excellence and stands as one of the finest sports cars of the 21st century. It’s the only RS-badged convertible from Porsche, featuring a 493 brake horsepower 4L Flat-6 engine, analog cabin, and a flawless 7-speed PDK gearbox for an unparalleled driving experience.

In a contrasting pursuit of automotive exhilaration, the Ariel Atom 4R emerges as a daring contender. Weighing only 700 kg and equipped with a tuned Honda Civic Type R engine generating 400 brake horsepower, the Atom 4R defies conventional road car norms with its raw, unapologetic adrenaline rush.

Checkout this video from CAR magazine on YouTube as they put these two contenders on a thorough winter test in South Wales and see how both cars stack up against each other.
