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.
Color Focus: Porsche Acid Green – 2M8
According to Porsche Club of America’s Rennbow website, Acid Green (acidgrün; non-metallic Uni; 2M8; Porsche) first came available in 2011 on the 911. Where it really took hold though was as a presence in the 918 program that would launch a few years later. The 918, of course, was a hybrid and pushing the “green” nature of Porsche’s hyridized and models like the Cayenne Hybrid made it the perfect attention-getting accent for these vehicles.
Very Special Porsche 918 Weissach Spyder Headed to Sell with RM in Miami
Though White was a standard color for the Porsche 918 Spyder, it's clear that this particular example is far from "standard".
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.
Green-on-Green Porsche 959 SC by Canepa Slated for RM Miami
Reimagining any car to the exacting specification is an impressive thing, though beginning with one of 292 legendary Porsche 959s is a whole other level of commitment. That’s where Canepa comes in, with their reimagining of these Group B homologation specials into what they call a 959 SC (SC standing for Super Carrera).
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.
Adriatic Blue Ruf CTR2 993 Headed for Gooding Amelia Island Sale
Ruf placed itself decidedly on the performance car map in 1987 when its twin-turbocharged CTR dubbed "Yellowbird" showed up and dominated Road & Track's Top Speed Shootout, besting the likes of the Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 959. Then, in 1995, it launched a credible successor to the Yellowbird when it debuted the 993-based CTR2.
Blue Turquoise over Blue Porsche 911 / 993 Carrera S in Gooding Amelia Island Sale
Though striking, Blue Turquoise was a standard color during the 993-era 911. Nevertheless, it was relatively rare and even more rare when you consider details like Midnight Blue interior and color-matched wheels. That's the case on this rest of world (ROW) example of a Porsche 911 Carrera S ordered by Mizwa, Porsche's Japanese distributor.
