Market Find: Paint to Sample Sepia Brown Porsche 911 Targa 4S
Will·
The next owner of this Tailored Driver has to really love brown. While we've played around with Porsche's Paint to Sample configurator and toyed with the idea of Sepia Brown, we've yet to see someone take the plunge. Perhaps because it's a non-metallic, meaning it's a LOT of brown.
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: Porsche Paint to Sample Viola Metallic 718 Cayman GT4 with CXX Hounds Tooth Inserts
Will·
The 718 Cayman GT4 (and Boxster Spyder for that matter) are Tailored Driver favorites for a number of reasons, most of them fairly obvious- size, shape, power, etc. Further tugging on our heartstrings, this particular example is finished in the dark and moody Viola Metallic, paired with Carbon Fiber bucket seats that happen to feature CXX-tailored Hounds Tooth inserts.
Market Find: 2021 Porsche Paint to Sample Brewster Green 911 Carrera S
Will·
Porscheflation aside, this $149,992 992.1-generation 911 Carrera S has a lot going for it. Brewster Green is always a hit regardless of application, as are cloth-centered seats and three pedals. But what really does it for us on this particular Tailored Driver is the restraint shown on the build.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Venetian Blue Metallic 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
Will·
This 997 is finished in Porsche's Venetian Blue Metallic, a medium blue-ish grey with deep roots in the G body era of 911s, which we simply do not see very often. Perhaps a byproduct of the G body's underappreciation until very recent times, we can't really blame any Tailors for simply overlooking Venetian- it's not the brightest, the most vibrant, and nor the most legendary of Porsche's secret menu.
Market Find: 2011 Porsche Paint to Sample Speed Yellow 911 Speedster
Will·
As frequent visitors have learned- we're massive fans of the 997-generation 911. The right size, modern (enough) tech, and still hints of that analog driving experience, the 997 also had the benefit of being the real start of Porsche's endless variant strategy and proliferation of Paint to Sample. This particular 997 in Paint to Sample Speed Yellow has another big thing going for it, being a Speedster.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Brewster Green Macan GTS
Will·
When it rains it pours, and this week Macan is in the forecast. This Tailored Driver is checking all the right boxes for us- GTS variant, Paint to Sample Brewster Green, low miles, great price. For roughly the price of a new GTI, you can be the next steward of this 360hp crossover, and you're guaranteed to have a hell of a lot more fun. Run- don't walk- to Evanston, Illinois and pick this up before we do.
MB Diamond Blue 911 Turbo Cabriolet Flachbau in RM Miami Sale
Consider all of the cars from Todd Blue’s LAPIS collection and the blue hue theme is painfully obvious. Even still, it’s the heavy emphasis on Paint to Sample and Sonderwunsch that really seems to drop jaws. Our final spotlight focus on this mix is another early example for this collection – a G-body flat nose Cabriolet in paint to sample Mercedes-Benz Diamond Blue Metallic.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Arena Red Metallic Macan Turbo
Will·
Now your entire (small) family can Kill Bugs Fast. Porsche's SUVs might not be the shuttle of choice for some of their most hardcore enthusiasts, but it's quite clear that the original Tailor of this particular Macan Turbo sure is.
