What: 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring
Exterior: Paint to Sample Black Olive (schwarzolive; non-metallic UNI; 2A7; Porsche)
Interior: Black
VIN: WP0AC2A97KS149114
Mileage: 26,213 miles
Location: Portland, OR
Listing: Grand Prix Motorcars
The appeal of a 991.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is already fairly well established, but this 2019 example currently offered by Grand Prix Motorcars in Portland, Oregon stands out for a specification that goes well beyond simply checking the Touring Package box. Most obvious is the exterior, finished through Porsche’s Paint to Sample program in Black Olive, a non-metallic dark green that can appear nearly black under subdued lighting. The car has 26,213 miles and is currently listed for $339,900.
Inside, the specification continues with black leather and cloth Touring Package upholstery and an unusually extensive Extended Contrast Stitching Interior Package. Deviated stitching was specified individually for the dashboard, upper door panels, door center panels, door armrests, door grab handles, center console lid, steering wheel rim, manual shifter boot and rear center tunnel, along with deviated stitching for the seats and headrest logos. White instrument dials and a matching white Sport Chrono clock provide additional contrast, while painted air vent slats, a Porsche crest on the storage compartment lid and an aluminum-look fuel cap add some of Porsche’s smaller personalization touches.
The functional options are equally well chosen. This GT3 Touring has the six-speed GT Sport manual transmission, 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus with heating, Front Axle Lift System, Chrono Package with preparation for Lap Trigger and the larger 23.7-gallon extended-range fuel tank. Black LED headlights, the Light Design Package, luggage net, fire extinguisher and even the Smoking Package round out a build that appears to have been configured with both long-distance road use and the occasional track visit in mind.
What makes the car compelling isn’t any single option so much as the way the specification comes together. Black Olive gives the wingless GT3 Touring an appropriately restrained appearance, while the extensive deviated stitching and relatively subtle interior personalization carry the same idea inside. Combined with the manual gearbox, front lift, larger fuel tank and adaptive seats, it’s a particularly thoughtful interpretation of the 991.2 GT3 Touring concept: visually discreet, highly personalized and still configured to be driven.
