Will·
It's often said (or at least inferred) that the BMW M3/4 is the last stop on a car enthusiasts way to Porsche ownership. If that's the case, this Paint to Sample San Marino Blue 718 Cayman GTS is one hell of a proof of concept.

Audi exclusive Nimbus Grey, a supercharged V10 nestled behind your ear, and carbon bits sprinkled throughout... what's not to love?
Market Find: 2004 Porsche Paint to Sample Zircon Blue Metallic 911 Turbo X50 Cabriolet

In terms of rarity, 996-generation Paint to Sample Porsches are up there. Graded on that curve, this particular 996 Turbo Cab with X50 package is simply off the charts. Draped in Porsche Paint to Sample Zircon Blue Metallic- a color so rare that Rennbow can only muster a shrug and a Google search of the color shows this car as the only result- this Tailored Driver also represents a bit of a question mark for us.
EU Market Find: Red-on-Red 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI
Nothing like a highly unique car in a highly unique build. In 1974, one year after producing the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, Porsche introduced the 911 2.7 with mechanical fuel injection (MFI). And while it had gone to G-body construction including bigger and heavier bumpers, it made up for that with countermeasures such as lighter seats an aluminum arms in the rear suspension. All told, it weighed in at 1075 kg (2370 lbs) and was capable of 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds... in 1974.
Market Find: Pink on Pink Final W12 Continental GTC in Beverly Hills
There's no doubt the Bentley Continental GTC you see here is polarizing. When the Bentley dealership in Beverly Hills commissions a special order car from Mulliner to celebrate the final W12 twin turbo delivery to the store, maybe it shouldn't be so surprising that they'd go with something as bold as pink over pink.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Black Olive GT4 RS
Will·
The myriad shades of Green seem to be in vogue, yet Porsche's Paint to Sample Dark Olive isn't one we see often. Perhaps it's the deeper, more subdued nature of Dark Olive which drives folks to order Nato Olive or Smyrna Green instead, but in our eyes- that's their loss.
Market Find: 2020 Audi exclusive Merlin Purple Q3
Will·
It's not often we see Audi exclusive paint applied to the more everyman-friendly priced models, so when it does happen, we're quick to take note. There's a lot to like here- for just $23,499, you can be one of what we assume to be incredibly few who can call a Tailored Q3 their own.
Market Find: 2006 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren by MSO

The chance for a do-over is oftentimes appealing, whether it be something in your personal or professional live. But the opportunity is one that simply doesn't exist in most situations, so for those select few, if you get the shot you best take it. McLaren Special Operations offered those with a car and cash the chance to do just that in 2022, inviting SLR McLaren Benzes back to Woking for some additional love.
Market Find: “The Denmark Commission” Singer Classic Study Porsche 911
In modern parlance, the "Classic Study" from Singer is effectively its original format. While in the earliest days of the Southern California-based Porsche reimagineer this was the Singer model, subsequent launches of the extreme DLS or more G-body inspired Turbo now mean the original F-body or so-called "longhood" inspired car is known as the "Classic Study".
Market Find: 2020 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S in Porsche Graphite Blue Metallic
Cars like this S213 E 63 Estate are next level on the if-you-know-you-know factor. Some will scratch their heads over the idea of spending money on a custom order (a.k.a. “PA1” inside Mercedes) and then choose a subtle color like a grey tone. We see that as the signature of a connoisseur though, not needing to be noticed by everyone. It goes further though.
