Market Find: CPO PTS Porsche 718 Spyder RS at Porsche Jacksonville
The 718 Spyder you see here is a fascinating thing. On one hand, it's an always impressive GT4 RS. On the other, it features so many nods to Porsche heritage that we suspect viewers may find it polarizing. In as much, we're going to also drop it into our "Acquired Taste" category.
Market Find: Mercedes Benz Manufaktur Gulf Blue E63 S Wagon
Will·
Perhaps the most logical of ways to interrupt our RS 6-fest is this Tailored Driver, which is currently on offer via Cars and Bids. Finished in Mercedes Benz's version of Gulf Blue offered through their Manufaktur program, this E63 S Wagon is admittedly a big swing that delivered incredible results. Does this have the right spec to win our Tailored Driver '600hp Wagon Wars'? We'll let the audience decide.
Market Find: Porsche Gulf Blue 718 Cayman GT4

Proper commitment that Trinidad James would certainly appreciate, this all-Gulf-everything Tailored Driver understands how to follow a theme. Paint to Sample Gulf Blue has been applied to the body, the wheels, the badging, and perhaps inadvertently to the car's dealer-spec key tag.
Market Find: Gulf Blue E36 M3 Coupé on Bring a Trailer
Though not an uncommon color by any stretch, we can't say we've ever seen Gulf Blue on a BMW before. Worth noting then, the car you see here isn't some über rare BMW Individual build but rather an extensive respray.
Market Find: Porsche 911T Build in Gulf Blue
Okay, it's a build. However, it's a build done in an exceedingly factory-like appearance. This car began life as a 911T, though as it sits it's a lot more widebody RSR style. And whereas modern cars painted Gulf Blue throw a nod at the rich tradition of Gulf Racing liveries on old Porsches, an old racing Porsche in Gulf Blue is a whole other level of tribute.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Gulf Blue Boxster Spyder
Will·
It seems that especially when it comes to the Porsche side of Tailored Driver, some are more adamant about getting 'the spec' as opposed to something they can realistically use. Take this Porsche Boxster Spyder in Paint to Sample Gulf Blue, paired with carbon buckets, carbon ceramic brakes, and a 6 speed manual.
Market Find: Gulf Racing Themed 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Sometimes the whole Gulf Racing thing can go a little overboard. It get's done, and it get's done a lot, but doesn't always work... a little too ambitiously racey for a road car. The 911 GT3 RS though, it's already got heavy racecar feel to it anyway, and those aerodynamics functional. So, spec in Gulf Blue with Weissach Package, orange stitching and orange graphics and fight the urge to logo it up and we'd argue this is one of the cooler livery-inspired 992 GT3 RS specifications we've seen.

Color Focus: Porsche Gulf Blue – 328
The term "icon" may be loaded. For starters, the word itself is used far too often, in a way that waters down the value of the label. And, in the case of a truly iconic color such as Gulf Blue (gulfblau; non-metallic / non-metallic UNI; 328; Porsche), the color also tends to get over-used by Paint to Sample clients seeking the obvious Porsche motorsport heritage play. And what a play it is.
