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.
Market Find: 2018 BMW Individual Nardo Grey M3 Competition
Will·
The staff of Tailored Driver loves a good cross-brand build, and this M3 is an incredibly well executed example. Aforementioned Nardo Grey (in BMW code P6K) is paired exquisitely with Amaro Brown extended leather, elevated by the appearance of BMW's Competition pack seats with strategic cutouts.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Grey Black Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid
Will·
Chosen as the launch color for their instant classic 997.2 GT3 RS, Porsche's Grey Black exists at the crossroads of dynamic and drab. Simple enough in theory, Grey Black is impossibly deep in the right lighting, trending much lighter or darker depending on conditions. We personally find this application exceptionally interesting on the range topping Turbo S E-Hybrid, due to it's understated curb presence (minus the Acid Green painted brake calipers and E-Hybrid badging) while also packing a combined 680hp from its twin-turbo V8 gas and hybrid electric motors.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Auratium Green 911 GT3
Will·
This one checks all the boxes- last year of the three-pedal GT3, Paint to Sample Auratium Green color, enough miles (over 22,000) to place added emphasis on the Driver portion of Tailored Driver, and tastefully modified to boot.
Market Find: 2018 BMW Individual British Racing Green M4 Competition
Will·
While not often thought as a Heritage color for BMW, British Racing Green had a fling with the brand in the '90s, appearing on the E36 M3 GT and Z3 models. Nearly 30 years later, the color still looks the business on this M4 helping it to stand out in a subtle way.
