Market Find: 2023 Porsche Paint to Sample Irish Green Cayman GT4
Will·
We're massive fans of the Cayman GT4 here at Tailored Driver, so when a Paint to Sample'd VIN enters our radar it's impossible to not take notice. With this Market Find, we have the realization of a spec that's been kicked around our internal group chat for quite some time- Paint to Sample Irish Green, 6 speed manual transmission, Yellow deviated stitching, belts and door pulls, and because we're not as young as we once were, 18-way power seats.
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: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Dark Olive Metallic Cayenne S
Will·
When it comes to a proper four-season do it all car, Porsche's Cayenne is a pretty unbeatable option.
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: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Ipanema Blue Metallic 911 Targa 4S
Will·
To put it simply, Porsche's Paint to Sample Ipanema Blue Metallic is a color you just don't see very often- if ever. The 911 Targa 4S represents an incredibly attractive package offering the best of both open and closed top worlds, although we acknowledge the neither coupe nor cab body style isn't for everyone.
Market Find: 2022 Porsche Paint to Sample Club Blue Taycan 4S
Will·
We'd be lying if we didn't admit that the Taycan 4S is a fairly interesting proposition. Decent range and (we think) great looks and astonishing speed are certainly the highlights, but this Tailored Driver package is rounded out nicely by Porsche's Paint to Sample Club Blue.
Market Find: Special Wishes Pearlescent White Porsche 911 / 964 Turbo Headed to Broad Arrow Auction at The Amelia
Hit up sites like Porsche Club North America's Rennbow paint resource and you'll see Pearl White Metallic was a color that began in the 1980s on cars like the 928 and 944, though Broad Arrow also shares in this car's Lot description an even more exotic Porsche history for this metallic shade of white. You see, it was also sprayed onto more spotlighted debuts such as the 956 sports racing prototype, the 959 "Gruppe B" concept that previewed the 959, the 911 Speedster Studie, and even the 924 Carrera prototype, all in this distinctive paint. Not surprisingly given the popular use by Porsche at auto shows, Pearl White Metallic was most definitely available in the brand's Paint to Sample program.
Market Find: 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupé in Ocean Jade Green Metallic on Bring a Trailer
We're always fans of Paint to Sample Porsche 911s of every ilk, but the older you go then the rarer it is to find Paint to Sample (PTS) and that makes them extra special. PTS wasn't unheard of in the 993 era by any stretch, but it's not like today when it seems like every other GT car allotment turns into a commissioned build by a rich client. That's the context that we share with you this 1997 911 Carrera S in Ocean Jade Green Metallic (ozeanjademetallic; metallic uni; L25K; Porsche) over on Bring a Trailer.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Nogaro Blue Cayenne Turbo GT
Will·
We're suckers for Nogaro Blue, but this Tailored Driver in some ways brings it back to its roots. But rather than be an Audi massaged by Porsche like the RS 2 where Nogaro debuted, this is a Porsche with Audi's 4.0TFSI slightly massaged by Stuttgart.
Market Find: 2016 Porsche Paint to Sample Birch Green Cayman GT4
Will·
We've long been fans of the Cayman GT4, and equally fans of the more 'acidic' greens like Lotus's Krypton Green which was one of the less common colors applied to their Exige and Elise models. We're also suckers for detail and theme.
