For sale is an exceptionally configured Porsche 718 Spyder RS, originally delivered in Germany and from a single previous owner, with only approximately 800 km on the odometer.
The configuration was not designed to be as flashy as possible, but rather to offer a timeless, minimalist, and at the same time highly exclusive specification. The result combines the extremely rare Paint to Sample (PTS) paint finish in Slate Gray RAL 7015 (Y97) with the Weissach Package, forged magnesium wheels, PCCB brakes, and details from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
After extensive research, there is currently no other publicly documented 718 Spyder RS known to exist in exactly this PTS color shade Y97 / RAL 7015. However, Porsche does not publish production figures by PTS color; therefore, no unverifiable “One of One” claim is being made.
PTS Slate Gray Y97
Slate Gray is one of those understated Porsche colors whose full effect only becomes apparent when it interacts with light, carbon fiber, and the vehicle’s contours. The character of the color changes significantly depending on the angle of the light. Together with exposed carbon fiber, the magnesium wheels, and the yellow PCCB brake calipers, it creates a deliberately classic, understated, and exceptionally harmonious appearance.
The side decorative lettering was intentionally omitted at the factory.

“Little Bastard”
One special detail can be found in the interior: the illuminated carbon-fiber door sill plates were custom-made by Porsche Exclusive with the “Little Bastard” lettering.
The name is a deliberate homage to James Dean’s legendary Porsche 550 Spyder—a subtle connection between one of the most famous historic open-top Porsches and the most uncompromising modern Spyder.
Condition & History
With only approximately 800 km on the odometer, the vehicle is in practically new condition. It is a first-hand German vehicle. Immediately after delivery, the entire front end was professionally wrapped with high-quality paint protection film (PPF) to protect the original paint.
The Spyder RS has never been in an accident and retains its original paint entirely. A new 3-year Porsche Approved warranty is still being finalized. All vehicle documents, owner’s manuals, and keys are, of course, included.
The last of its kind
The 718 Spyder RS combines the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter high-revving engine from the 911 GT3 with an open, mid-engine layout designed without compromise for the driving experience. 500 PS, 9,000 rpm, and the intake tract’s immediate proximity to the driver create a driving experience that can hardly be explained by technical specifications alone.
Especially against the backdrop of increasing electrification and turbocharging, this combination of a high-revving naturally aspirated engine, a mid-engine layout, and an open-top vehicle concept is likely to hold a special place in Porsche GT history.
Conclusion
A Spyder RS for the enthusiast or collector who isn’t just looking for any car, but has been waiting for the right one.
Viewing by appointment only. Not a distress sale.
