Color Check: Porsche 718 Spyder RS in Moongem

When Porsche rolled out the 718 Spyder RS, enthusiasts already knew this was a greatest-hits finale for the naturally aspirated flat-six in the mid-engine roadster lineup. What they didn’t know was how spectacular the car could look in one of the rarer shades from Porsche’s Paint to Sample catalog. Case in point: this 2025 718 Spyder RS finished in Moongem (code: 40S), recently photographed by Champion Porsche.

A Rare Shade with Serious Presence

Moongem isn’t a color you’ll spot on your average dealer lot. This silvery gray is laced with a subtle gemstone undertone—hence the name—that shifts in character depending on the light. Under the studio setup at Champion Porsche, it comes alive with a luminous depth that feels far more dramatic than a standard silver. Paired with the aggressive aero and sculpted bodywork of the Spyder RS, the result is both understated and commanding.

Sonderwunsch Touches Inside

This car wasn’t simply ordered in Paint to Sample and left at that. Champion’s studio shots reveal Sonderwunsch touches that take it to another level—chief among them a set of tartan-pattern sport seats that give the cabin a bespoke, almost heritage-inspired flavor. The mix of modern track-focused performance with vintage fabric cues is exactly the kind of juxtaposition Porsche’s most devoted clientele appreciate.

Likely Spoken For

The Champion Porsche team teased the car with the line: “More Moongem action to get this week started 😍”—making clear they couldn’t let it leave the showroom without a studio session. While the post doesn’t state it outright, it’s a safe assumption that this Spyder RS has already found a home. The 718 Spyder RS allocation is as tight as any GT car from Weissach, and when one is built in a shade like Moongem with Sonderwunsch details, it isn’t likely to linger.

Why It Matters

Porsche’s Paint to Sample and Sonderwunsch programs have become an essential part of the enthusiast conversation. Colors like Moongem, paired with interior flourishes such as tartan inserts, speak to a deeper culture of personalization and tailoring. For collectors and drivers alike, these builds are snapshots of the brand’s willingness to let customers leave their mark. In a market where limited-run RS models are already hotly contested, unique specs like this one push desirability even further.
