Should also say, for those who own a 718 Spyder with the 000 Package (or those who missed out), there is a followup to these special cars, this time in celebration of our second and third trips back to Pikes Peak.
It's a very different offering, but maybe fun to check out as a 2020 drive to Pikes Peak in a Gentian Blue 718 Spyder was what started all this in the first place…
The experts can correct me if I'm wrong, but end of run when PTS was no longer available I thought I saw someone mention a few cars going out with more standard colors like Gentian or apparently Arctic in this case.
^ Correct.
No more PTS availability for remainder of MY 2023 718 models—and a request from a reader for Gentian Blue as a substitute for Albert Blue—prompted 000 to approve three new colors for the 000 Package:
Gentian Blue
Arctic Grey
Black
We are grateful for that reader's request, as it added a cool twist to the story. The last one produced, in GT Silver Metallic, was recently shown in Thailand.

I'm not sure how many were produced in GT Silver, but it definitely should have been more. Great color with the 000 package (and leaves all that PTS money for extra leather ).
Sadly, none were ordered in A1 Black, which became a potential favorite for me when I saw the renders seen earlier in this thread. I dug the way Black made the big silver wheels and Ascot Brown interior pop thanks in part to the black calipers and black upper interior, much the way black does on a CGT. Ah well, in the strictest of Porsche traditions, perhaps someone will create a "one of none" car later.
Fortunately, cars in all of the other available colors were ordered and built:
Brewster Green
Slate Grey
GT Silver Metallic
Albert Blue
Arctic Grey
Gentian Blue Metallic
Brewster and Slate were the most popular, followed by GT Silver IIRC. Most of the cars are in North America, but there are also cars in Europe and Asia.
Congratulations on the new collaboration with the turbo! Takes a lot to have a sanctioned custom Porsche like this, and now two models. Clearly they liked the first 000. Something to be very proud of!

^ GT Silver was added late in the game to lower the price of entry and remove PTS allocations as a barrier—but ended up becoming a sleeper fave once I saw it.
There's just something about Spyders in silver. I'd have had a very hard time choosing between Brewster and GT, with the fact that I already have a Brewster car tipping me toward GT…until, that is, A1 Black was added. And this, as someone who swore he'd never own a black car!

black would look awesome, my Brewster looks very dark in the evening
One more question for @stout that just occurred to me...is 000 CXX package approved by Porsche Exclusive for the Spyder RS? Are you aware of anyone having ordered one?

Approved by Porsche Exclusive? No, not that I know of so far. We have, however, had several 000 readers ask.
It wasn't something we were looking at, but we're okay with the idea—so I know of a handful of requests via dealers. I can't think of any parts (interior from upper dash and doors down, red taillights, etc) or concepts (black calipers, silver wheels) that wouldn't transfer—but if the 000 Package taught me anything, it's just how tricky these projects can be and I remain thankful to the team at Porsche Exclusive for making an idea into a reality. A friend is eagerly awaiting a Brewster Green 718 Spyder with the 000 Package, and I can't decide who is more excited to see it—him or me.

It may not be an official 000 package, but this should cure your curiosity. I think black looks mega with the silver wheels and that interior.
Thanks for this, and yep—it's the closest thing in real life I've seen and looks fabulous in A1 Black w/silver wheels. Being afflicted as I am, would love to see this with clear sidemarkers + black calipers to further pop the interior.

Yep, which works well here just as it does in the Speedster.
