Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Geyser Grey Metallic 911 GT3 Touring
Will·
Despite the potential for being dismissed as simply 'beige' by onlookers, Porsche's Geyser Grey Metallic is a pretty interesting color in the eyes of Tailored Driver. Most commonly seen on the 50th Anniversary 911, Geyser is an off-white with a fairly subtle metallic flake for some added dynamism.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Voodoo Blue 911 Carrera S Coupe
Will·
Porsche's Paint to Sample Voodoo Blue is quickly attaining frequent flyer status at Tailored Driver, and for good reason- the pale blue looks quite incredible, regardless of application. While somewhat wild to say, 2018 was already 7(!) years ago and just slightly before Paint to Sample became a nearly must-have option for new Porsche buyers.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Merlin Purple S5 sportback
Will·
While seemingly uncommon in the real world, Audi exclusive's Merlin Purple sure is a frequent flyer in the world of Tailored Driver. Seen here on an S5 sportback, Merlin may not be for everyone but those bold enough to take the jump are rewarded with a deep, dynamic hue that is certain to be a conversation starter.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Nardo Grey S4 Sedan
Will·
Not much to say about Nardo Grey that we haven’t said before- it was the undeniable color of the moment, and its inspiration can be clearly seen throughout the automotive landscape.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Ara Blue Crystal Effect S4 Sedan
Will·
Audi's Ara Blue Crystal Effect is the latest in a long line of truly incredible Blues to come out of Ingolstadt. This particular instance may not be the first time we've seen Ara on an S4, but dare we say it's a better spec.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Graphite Blue Metallic Macan GTS
Will·
A modern Porsche, in Paint to Sample Graphite Blue Metallic, for $32k. Say what you will, but that's a compelling statement. Graphite Blue Metallic was one of the more interesting standard colors from the 991 generation of Porsche's 911, appearing nearly Nardo Grey at first glance, but with just enough cyan to have a clear differentiation.
Market Find: 2018 Lamborghini Ad Personam Verde Draco Metallic Huracan Performante
Will·
Lamborghini's Ad Personam Verde Draco Metallic was most famously used on Lamborghini's Murcelago press car that was thrashed on Top Gear, and second most famously on VinWiki founder and Cannonballer Ed Bolian's resprayed high-mile LP640. But even with that relatively high level of notoriety and our opinion that it's absolutely stunning, take rate on the vibrant albeit muted green is exceedingly low.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Graphite Blue Metallic S4 Sedan
Will·
The Audi S4 is a damn fine sports sedan, and we feel it represents a fairly good value in the used car market- even when Audi exclusive paint has been applied. What's more compelling for this particular example is that of the roughly 80 pre-approved Audi exclusive hues available to customers in 2018, Graphite Blue Metallic was not one of them.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic 911 GT3
Will·
At the offices of Tailored Driver, we love to put ourselves in the shoes of our Market Find's original Tailors and try to imagine how conversations went while curating and submitting each order. With this Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic 991-generation GT3, we'd assume that a 997-generation GT3 owner walked into the Porsche dealer in Plano, TX after being told that the then-new 2018 model would be available with three pedals for what was assumed to be the last time.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Viola Purple Metallic 911 GT3
Will·
Not to be confused with the much darker Viola Metallic, Porsche's Paint to Sample Viola Purple Metallic is a much more playful, vibrant flavor of the historically royal color. When paired with Porsche's sporting GT3 variant of it's iconic 911, Viola Purple Metallic represents a juxtaposition that proves its Tailor is not one to take themselves too seriously.
