Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Deep Sea Blue over CXX Ascot Brown 718 Cayman GT4
Will·
It doesn't happen often- I can count the number times on one hand- but there are moments in the Tailored Driver journey where I wonder to myself, "Did I black out and somehow don't remember ordering this?"
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Maritime Blue Macan GTS
Will·
While it's not the first Maritime Macan GTS we've featured, there's just something about pairing this classic Porsche blue with the brand's volume leader.
Market Find: BMW Individual Maritime Blue i4 M50 Gran Coupe
Will·
Regardless of where your allegiance lies when it comes to mobility- electric, combustion, hybrid, or maybe a little of all the above- we think this Tailored Driver shows that with the right options anything can be exciting. BMW's version of Maritime Blue is used brilliantly to spice up this i4 M50 Gran Coupe, and it's currently for sale on Cars and Bids.
Market Find: Solar Orange 2023 Audi R8 V10 performance Spyder
Sometimes it's hard to get an accurate read on colors based on photos. This very handsome Audi R8 V10 performance Spyder is a great example. While its orange paint looks on the darker side of a primary orange... more like a Gulf Orange, the listing shows it as Glut orange that is lighter and closer to traditional Signal Orange.
Market Find: Audi exclusive District Green SQ8
Will·
Consider this of an elder sibling wearing the younger's clothes- which admittedly doesn't always pan out. This Tailored SQ8 is finished in Audi exclusive District Green, which is generally found on the A/S5 and Q/SQ5 models as a traditionally optioned hue. In this case, the greenish-yellow paint works incredibly well to create a distinct SQ8 without removing the grown up appeal.
Market Find: 2023 Audi R8 Spyder in Nogaro Blue
We’ll say it over and over until we can’t any longer. We’re ALWAYS (and I mean ALWAYS) fans of dealer salespeople who bring Audi exclusive listings to the enthusiast fore and often ahead of their dealerships. Before we get into this car, it’s worth thanking Martin Tuma at Audi Westchester for posting it to Facebook (our main link above).
Market Find: 2023 BMW Individual Santorini Blue X3 M40i
Santorini Blue has made multiple waves here at Tailored Driver; this time, we’re seeing it on a BMW X3 M40i. It’s quite rare to see a BMW Individual color on a non-M X3, but don’t underestimate it. This was a $4,500 factory paint option selected by the previous owner.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Racing Green Metallic 718 Cayman GT4 RS
Will·
To those Tailored Driver fans who see this 718 Cayman GT4 RS and immediately think "Aston"- you're not wrong. Porsche's Racing Green Metallic is "Ice Ice Baby" to Aston's "Under Pressure", which is to say it's nearly the same, and for good reason.
Market Find: PTS Polar Silver on Green Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS Returns
If you’re seeking a Sonderwunsch special that makes simple paint to sample builds look passé, the 911 Targa 4 GTS you see her definitely qualifies. On the outside, it’s a subtle play dipping into Paint to Sample services for a decidedly hard-to-spot derivative of silver.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic 718 Spyder
Will·
It's sadly not as often as we'd hope that something comes across our desk from seemingly out of far left field and leaves us speechless, but that's exactly where we find ourselves this morning. Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic is nowhere on our radar, and after seeing it here- we'd say that's a miss.
