The Best Drive Of My Life _ Porsche 718 Spyder RS

This week's episode is two parts, and I'm excited to share with you both parts of my coolest drive ever up here in Switzerland. This time, I'm heading up one of the best roads in the country, literally, with a brand new GT4 RS Spider. The weather forecast for this week was not ideal, as most of the mountain passes are closed for the winter, but there were a few that were open. I thought it would be a great opportunity to see off 2023 summer by driving up one of the best roads in Switzerland.

As I arrived at the starting point, I could feel the excitement building up inside me. The GT4 RS Spider is an incredible machine, and I couldn't wait to put its capabilities to the test on this stunning road. I put on my helmet, started the engine, and began my ascent up the mountain. The car felt powerful and responsive, with a smooth and precise handling that allowed me to take the corners at high speeds.

As I climbed higher, the scenery around me became more breathtaking. The trees grew taller, and the air grew cooler, but I was too focused on the road ahead to notice. The GT4 RS Spider was performing flawlessly, and I felt like I was on top of the world. The sound of the engine, the rush of the wind, and the thrill of the drive all combined to create an exhilarating experience that left me grinning from ear to ear.

As I entered the tunnel section, the scenery changed dramatically. The trees gave way to rocks and steep cliffs, and the air grew colder and damper. But the GT4 RS Spider was designed to handle these conditions, and it performed beautifully. The car's handling was superb, with a tight and precise steering that allowed me to navigate the twisty roads with ease.

As I emerged from the tunnel, the scenery changed once again. The steep cliffs gave way to rolling hills and picturesque villages, and the air grew warmer and more pleasant. But the GT4 RS Spider was still in its element, and it performed flawlessly on the winding roads. The sound of the engine, the rush of the wind, and the thrill of the drive all combined to create an unforgettable experience that left me feeling elated.

One of the highlights of my drive was when I encountered a group of super cool cars, including an MGB GT, a Cayman, an Exed 430, a Cayman GT3, an M2 GT3, and an M3 Touring. The driver of the MGB GT, who introduced himself as Jules, was particularly interesting, as he had grown up around Mini Coopers and loved them. We spent a few minutes chatting about cars, and I learned that there's no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a car. It's all about personal preference and having fun.

As we continued our drive, the road became increasingly steep and narrow. The scenery around me was breathtaking, with towering cliffs and deep valleys stretching out as far as the eye could see. But I was too focused on the drive to notice. The GT4 RS Spider was performing flawlessly, and I felt like I was in a different world.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, we encountered a closed barrier at the top of the pass. Luckily, one of the drivers had an idea and managed to open it for us. We continued our drive, but as we looked back, we could see the barrier still closed behind us. It was a thrilling experience that left me feeling exhilarated.

As I finished my drive and made my way back down the mountain, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such an incredible machine on one of the most beautiful roads in Switzerland. The GT4 RS Spider had delivered on its promise, and I had been treated to an unforgettable experience that I would never forget.

This experience has left me with a deep appreciation for the thrill of driving a fast car on a winding road. There's nothing quite like the feeling of speed, power, and excitement that comes with pushing your vehicle to its limits. The GT4 RS Spider is an exceptional machine, and I feel lucky to have had the chance to drive it.

Driving this way can be quite a rush, especially when you're trying to keep up with fast cars. But as we said our goodbyes, we knew that we would be doing it again soon, because of the incredible experience we had just shared. It was a great reminder that there's no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a car – it's all about personal preference and having fun.

Looking back on my drive, I'm still grinning from ear to ear. The GT4 RS Spider is an exceptional machine, and the road up the mountain was breathtakingly beautiful. I feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such an incredible machine in one of the most stunning locations in Switzerland.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: encoming up on this this week's episode this is two parts don't mess up the coolest Drive I've ever done up here in my life and I'm trying to keep up with the fast cars come on whose idea was this back on the system pass this evening with a brand new GT4 RS spider for what is probably going to be the last Drive of the mountain passes of this year of the big passes that is anyway most of them Clos for the winter of course there was a couple of passes to open in the winter but not that many not the good ones like this the sustem pass the Grimson pass the F pass Etc so I thought I would see off 2023 summer in spider heading up one of the best roads in Switzerland literally from the b-roll that you saw the opening scene with this car 2 days ago it was 23° and 2 days later now it's 2 so it's changed quite dramatically and up the top of the mountains as well up here there has been quite some snow on the top and I looked on the webcam this morning there was also uh snow on the system pass this morning morning so hopefully it still won't be there when we head up because well I'm in summer tise not really an ideal situation anyway I just drove here from Zurich so I had to roof up because it did start raining but it's a spider it's supposed to be driven with roof down this car was really made that you drive it as much as possible with the roof down so let's go and do that first Porsche says you can put it down within 2 minutes so let's give it a go so it's been around around 5 minutes now and uh I still can't close the rear I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong yet but but I'm working on it it's it's work in progress is this two parts then maybe hold it come on oh yes managed to get the roof down my mistake was uh after 10 minutes realizing that when I undid the front bit I had to roll the back bit up to the top and I was doing it the wrong way around which is why it wasn't fitting in as it should so lesson learned took me 10 minutes then but yes once you know how you know how should actually take 2 minutes I reckon after a couple of times anyway let's head up the system pass final summer run although it's not summer anymore but final run of 2023 got my friend Pierre in front who also owns the F40 as most of you know now from my channel he also as you can see owns a very loud very yellow scooteria and he is joining for the drive so let's go have some fun very cold it's around 2° let's see the summer off properly so quite some years ago some of you will remember I had a video with the 981 spider going up this exact road which still today gets comments and Views Pierre's scooter sounds like an F1 car anyway I thought it was time to relive that because that was really such a fun video and had so much love so let's relive it today in the new spider not a 981 of course like that was a 718 but I feel like this car in this Road were made for each other the airbox sound from here I will also be talking briefly about which I prefer of course this the spider or mine at the moment I just like them both as much as each other I'm not such a cabet roof down guy I'm actually someone that hides from the Sun mostly but right now in this situation although I'm cold it is very nice the biggest downside for me being when the roof is up it just doesn't look that good but this car as I said was really made you just half the roof down nearly always oh it started raining everything so slightly let's hope that keeps off woo it is cold out here it just doesn't get much better than this blasting up the pass with your mates I'm going to need a hot bath after this I told you it is great I definitely feel alive right now oh that is not a good place to park holy moly are you kidding me it's just started snowing it's just started snowing actually was snowing then look at those mountains all dust Ed with snow from yesterday and this morning snowing holy cow I love the GT4 RS so much really the spider also now
