Gulf Blue. It’s a challenge. On one hand, it’s iconic – harking the classic era of Gulf Racing and the 917 on the silver screen in Le Mans. On the other hand, it’s been done many times and often paired with period correct yet polarizing (and arguably at times played out) orange. Buyers choose it because they simply love the heritage, but they do so at their own risk because Gulf Racing fatigue can be a real thing.

It’s with that we present to you this paint to sample 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS is finished in paint-to-sample Gulf Blue and fitted with the Weissach Package and a tasteful suite of performance options that underscore its place as the ultimate analogue mid-engine roadster. 

The Spyder RS was Porsche’s bold statement for the 718 line — a free-revving, naturally aspirated indulgence that pairs a GT4 RS–derived 4.0-liter flat-six with a seven-speed PDK transmission, delivering ~493 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque right to the rear wheels of the 718’s smaller, nimbler and more evenly balanced chassis.

In a world increasingly dominated by electrification, cars like the 718 Spyder RS represents one of the last pure mid-engine, open-top sports car experiences from Zuffenhausen with a classic internal combustion soundtrack — the sort of visceral, analogue engagement that defines the traditional driving enjoyment.

Exterior & Aesthetics

• Gulf Blue paint-to-sample finish — a bespoke hue that elevates the RS presence. 
• Black manual soft top — minimal, functional, and perfect for drop-top enjoyment. 
• 20″ forged magnesium wheels — strength and weight savings, finished in Satin White Gold Metallic

Equipment Highlights

• Weissach Package — lightweight enhancements and titanium trim details. 
• Front-axle lift system — practical for real-world use without compromising stance. 
• Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) — massive stopping power with reduced unsprung weight. 
• LED headlights w/ PDLS, Bose sound, Chrono Package — performance with daily usability. 
• Black leather + Race-Tex interior with heated 18-way seats — comfort meets sport. 

Condition & Documentation

• Clean Carfax report with no accidents. 
• Offered by a BaT Local Partner with a clean Montana title. 

So, should the Gulf Racing curious consider this Spyder? We’d vote yes. The pastel blue accents handsomely with the dark carbon accents of the Weissach package, setting the grid-like black textures of the carbon off and making them visually pop.

Foregoing orange stitching or racing stripes exhibits restraint, while pairing in the White Gold Metallic wheels adds a fresh level of depth to this very familiar hue. In short, this build is worth it. If you have the means, we’d highly recommend it.
