Events like Air|Water bring a wave of vibrant colors from the Porsche community. When it’s thoughtfully curated, it feels like being a kid in a candy store. @PTSRS and Air|Water teamed up to present “Colors of Air|Water,” and we spent hours capturing content for our site. The rain didn’t stop us. It added mood and contrast, bringing each color to life in both overcast light and the bright California sun.
We’re continuing our series with Speed Yellow. We’ll dive deeper in a future Color Focus feature, but here’s a quick summary of what makes it stand out.
Speed Yellow (Speedgelb, nonmetallic, 12G / L12G / X4) was introduced in the early 1990s and became a signature Porsche color through the air cooled and early water cooled eras. According to the Rennbow database, it first appeared around the 1993 model year on cars like the 964 Carrera RS 3.8 and 968, and remained available through the 997 generation, officially ending in 2012. Though it was later replaced by the brighter Racing Yellow, Speed Yellow continues today through Porsche’s Paint to Sample (PTS) program.
Where many Porsche colors lean toward subtlety or historic significance, Speed Yellow channels Porsche’s racing spirit like few other colors. It’s bold, unapologetic, and instantly recognizable. It’s closely associated with GT models, Turbo models, and even limited production examples like the Speed Yellow 968 coupes and cabs built for North America.
Browsing the Bramo app, we did find the profile for this 993 Carrera RS. Not hard to spot, given how rare this car is. The owner, Darin, states: “The 993 Carrera RS is one of the most desirable driver-focused 911s to ever leave the factory, with a perfect blend of classic 911 analogue feel and then-modern 1990s mechanical technology. 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS chassis number WP0ZZZ99ZTS390456 is a highly original example with just under 37,X” The photos also show Japanese license plates, which suggests this might be a Japan import. Would love to learn more.
The 997 GT3 finished in Speed Yellow checks all the boxes for a future classic, and it’s already highly sought after today. As one of the last analog GT3s before the shift to electric steering and dual clutch gearboxes, the 997 GT3 blends raw performance with a driving experience that feels connected and pure.
Powered by the legendary Mezger engine, derived from Porsche’s motorsport programs, it delivers naturally aspirated power with a soundtrack and response that enthusiasts still chase today. Add to that a six speed manual, rear wheel drive, and no unnecessary frills, and you have a formula that defines what a driver’s car should be.
Check out the video and gallery below for a walk around of both cars.
One of the more fascinating launches during Villa d’Este Concours week is perhaps a name you’ve never heard before. Bovensiepen is the name of the founding family behind legendary BMW tuning haus Alpina, and it seems they’ve paired with Zagato, a legend in its own right for automotive design, to create the tailored BMW M4-based grand touring coupe you see here.
Why isn’t it an Alpina? Good question. BMW and Alpina have enjoyed close ties for years, with BMW of North America having sold Alpina offerings through brand dealerships. In 2022, Alpina was acquired by BMW and brought into the fold. Today, its founder has begun the second act, launching a firm under the family name and working with the Italians to create a coupe known simply as the Bovensiepen Zagato.
The result is a 600 hp highly tailored coupe that almost seems to take on brands like Bentley in its customer commissioned detail work. Think highly limited and personalized specifically for the buyer and you won’t be far off.
It’s also got unique partner-sourced components. The car boasts a bespoke suspension system from Bilstein with three modes – Comfort, Sport and Sport plus. From Akrapovič comes an exotic titanium exhaust.
Interestingly, there’s no BMW roundel logo in site. Though it’s pretty obvious there’s an M4 Coupé in there somewhere, the idea appears to be for this car to stand on its own… not simply a tailored and Zagato-touched M4… though it’s probably that too.
In a lot of ways, the project seems to echo the original Fisker Tremonto. Before Henrik Fisker set off down the EV road, the former Aston Martin design chief built is first cars under the Fisker badge by taking existing BMW 6 Series coupes and adding bespoke bodywork and components. In this case though, the combination of the family behind Alpina selling a GT designed by Zagato makes a more compelling case.

PRESS RELEASE: BOVENSIEPEN
[source: Bovensiepen]
The name Bovensiepen is no stranger in the automotive industry, and now it stands for a manufacturer of exceptional automobiles that embody the concept of “fine driving.” The launch of the Bovensiepen brand marks a new era for the company and the focused continuation of the extensive engineering, development and production expertise from Buchloe (Bavaria, Germany).
In the future, Bovensiepen will realize exciting automotive projects that combine precision and harmony in the form of timeless design and outstanding engineering. Each automobile is crafted by experts with decades of experience and boundless passion. They share this dedication with enthusiasts who appreciate and admire these automobiles and all their details.
Our headquarters in Buchloe is the home of our experts and the centre of our passion. From design, development and construction to production by hand, all the threads come together here to create automobiles that are among the best in the world and to make Fine Driving a reality.
The Bovensiepen name is synonymous with successfully pushing boundaries in the automotive world. For the passion to make good things even better. For the combination of timeless design and engineering excellence. For the symbiosis of precision and harmony.
BOVENSIEPEN ZAGATO – FINE DRIVING
Gran Turismo – a unique category of extraordinary automobiles, a way of life. The first model from the Bovensiepen brand is presented in this automotive tradition.
The Bovensiepen Zagato masterfully combines unmistakable Italian design with re-nowned Bavarian engineering. A novelty created with dedication and craftsmanship to excite automotive enthusiasts. A true and extraordinary Gran Turismo that expres-ses freedom and elegance down to the last detail.
The shape of the Bovensiepen Zagato is a harmonious composition of individual design features and bears the unmistakable signature of the traditional Milanese design studio Zagato. All design elements – from the elegant, elongated bonnet and side lines to the almost architectural design of the front and rear – hark back to the tradition of iconic coupés – in a modern, timeless interpretation. A true masterpiece of contemporary coachbuilding.
“It was a team effort driven by the excitement of the project – the idea of launching the first car of a new luxurious brand – and the fact that we were bringing together the DNA of two families…. When you combine two DNAs, the result should be a stronger DNA,” explains Andrea Zagato, third-generation President of Zagato.
The unique Gran Turismo driving experience stems from an unparalleled symbiosis of design and technology. Engineering “Made in Buchloe” begins with the Bovensiepen sports suspension with special Bilstein dampers and sophisticated forged aluminium wheels, and extends to the lightweight exterior body, which is made almost entirely of carbon fibre. A powerful soundscape for pure emotion is delivered by the high-performance titanium exhaust system, developed in collaboration with Akrapovič. All components of this automobile, around 400 precision parts, were developed to bring to life what the name Bovensiepen stands for: Fine Driving.
The power of the Bovensiepen Zagato also comes from within: The 3.0 litre in-line six-cylinder engine generates an output of 449 kW (611 hp) and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 3.3 seconds the top speed lies beyond the 300 km/h mark.*
Each Bovensiepen Zagato is created and assembled at our manufactory in Buchloe (Bavaria) by experts with decades of experience and a great passion for manual craftsmanship – each automobile takes over 250 working hours to complete.
“As two family businesses, we still view the automobile through romantic eyes. Today, many vehicles are highly standardized, and their romance is being lost,” says Andrea Zagato.
The Bovensiepen Zagato will celebrate its debut this weekend at the Fuori Concorso on Lake Como. The perfect backdrop for a true Gran Turismo.
TIMELESS BEAUTY
The Bovensiepen Zagato is more than just the perfect symbiosis of design and tech-nology. This timeless Gran Turismo embodies the intensive collaboration between “Design Made in Milan” and “Engineering Made in Buchloe”. The result is an automo-bile that is far more than just the sum of its parts. “Our goal is to build automobiles for connoisseurs and enthusiasts who appreciate the perfect symbiosis of design and technology,” Andreas Bovensiepen, CEO Bovensiepen Automobiles.
The shape of the Bovensiepen Zagato is a harmonious composition of individual design features. The genuine beauty lies in the harmonious proportions of the vehicle. “It‘s a kind of mixture of Italian flair, a kind of sexy and soft design, and a German, very solid, almost architectural structure… it is a beautiful blend of these two automotive cultures, I would say,” Norihiko Harada, Zagato Chief Designer.
The elongated side line without a B-pillar and with completely retractable, frameless windows defines the elegant side view. A horizontal design line spans the entire ve-hicle and connects all elements of the exterior. The “Double Bubble” curvature in the roof and rear window – typical of the Zagato Design Studio – make the Bovensiepen Zagato unmistakable from every perspective.
The striking front is defined by a large central air intake with a CNC-milled stainless steel grille and low-set headlights. The two aditional air intakes hint at the high-performance potential of the inline-six-cylinder engine.
The long, low bonnet gives the Bovensiepen Zagato a strong presence. Two precisely defined lines and the large U-shaped air outlet add a highly dynamic character to its appearance.
From the front, the horizontal, wraparound design line continues upwards over the striking contours of the side and the sportily accentuated rear fenders to the integrated rear spoiler lip. The side air vents allow for optimal airflow and emphasize the curved lines of the body. They are also the perfect stage for the Zagato lettering. „… if design doesn‘t take a risk, we cannot impress the people. This is something Andreas Bovensiepen understood immediately. He accepted to take a risk.“ Norihiko Harada, Chief Designer Zagato
The precisely drawn, almost architectural rear end with muscular rear wheel arches, pronounced fins and the striking spoiler lip show the power and dynamics that the Bovensiepen Zagato can unleash. The Bovensiepen lettering and a pronounced rear diffuser around the two twin tailpipes complete the athletic rear end.
The long sloping bonnet, low roofline, and dynamic rear create a smooth, wedge-shaped side profile.
ENGINEERING „MADE IN BUCHLOE”
The Bovensiepen Zagato is exceptional in terms of design and performance. The powerful drivetrain, which delivers impressive driving performance, meets the highest of demands.
The 3.0 litre in-line six-cylinder engine generates an output of 449 kW (611 hp) and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. The superior power and torque characteristics of the Gran Turismo were refined in countless hours on the engine test bench and over many thousand test kilometres. The Bovensiepen Zagato accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed beyond 300 km/h.*
Specially developed Damptronic dampers from Bilstein help deliver Fine Driving. The Bovensiepen chassis engineers have refined them for that special “Gran Turismo” driving experience. The driver can select from three driving modes – Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus – offering a range from pronounced comfort to athletic driving dynamics. The Bovensiepen forged wheel in 20“ continues the symbiosis of design and engineering: the ten elongated double spokes create a striking visual depth. Elaborate side recesses in each individual spoke lead to significant weight savings.
A powerful soundscape for pure emotion is delivered by the lightweight titanium exhaust system, developed together with Akrapovič. It reduces the back pressure significantly and with a weight of 22 kg it is around 40 percent lighter compared to conventional systems. The exhaust system ends in two twin tailpipes – also made of titanium.
MANUFACTORY
The production time of each Bovensiepen Zagato in the Bovensiepen manufactory extends to beyond 250 working hours. Over 400 individual parts are assembled to the highest precision. This requires absolute experts with decades of experience and a passion for manual craftsmanship. This makes each automobile unique, manufactured entirely according to the customer‘s wishes.
The interior of the Bovensiepen Zagato combines modernity and craftsmanship. The display of the infotainment system is seamlessly integrated into the leather-covered instrument panel, high-quality shift paddles made of milled aluminium, an individual production plate and the hand-stitched Lavalina® steering wheel complete our definition of Fine Driving. The design of the seats proudly shows GT genes: the seat centre panels with the characteristic lengthwise stripes blend harmoniously with the modern backrests with their stylised bucket seat look.
Every Bovensiepen Zagato can be as unique as its owner. The Bovensiepen manu-factory offers personalization options down to the last detail. This makes every automobile from our manufactory in Buchloe (Bavaria) a truly unique one-off. Every detail tells its own story, and every story begins with the vision of an automobile en-thusiast.
The Bovensiepen Zagato is optionally available with a full Lavalina® leather interior. An experienced saddler covers nearly every touchpoint in the cabin with this exqui-site material in more than 130 hours of finely honed craftsmanship.
The Lavalina® colour palette includes 16 standard colours. In addition, any desired colours can be realized via the Bovensiepen Bespoke program. The leather can be combined with Alcantara, which is available in 45 other colours and harmonizes particularly well with Lavalina®.
MARKET LAUNCH
Delivery of the first customer vehicles is planned for the end of the 2nd quarter of 2026. Pricing and production numbers for this strictly limited model will be released in the 4th Quarter of 2025.
Sometimes, from the archives of the world wide web, we uncover something worth noting. We check forums, social posts, and even old dealer listings. That’s exactly what happened with this find. Lamborghini Newport Beach, thank you for posting those photos online; they’ve found their way to the Tailored Driver audience.
Here we have an Audi exclusive Frosted Glass Blue Metallic R8 V10 Performance Spyder. If you know your blues, you know this is not an original Audi color. This blue originates from Aston Martin’s “Q” special-order palette and has been adopted by Audi through its Audi exclusive program.
We weren’t able to source a color code from Audi, but looking at it’s origins at Aston Martin, the official color code is 6003D, also referenced as AST6003D or AM6003. This color is described as a light blue metallic with a subtle white flake, achieved using actual glass particles to create its unique shimmer.
While Audi does not publicly list a specific code for this color, a user on Reddit mentioned that the Audi/BASF code is DE01-2018-2218-4. However, this code may not be universally recognized.
Love it or hate, you’ll have to admit this is a pretty rare color for the 4 rings brand. In our research, we came across a few models wearing this Aston Martin blue, including a TT RS, RS 6 Avant, and RS 4 Avant. While this specific R8 is no longer for sale, we find the VIN in hopes of learning more. We didn’t get far. But if you’re up for a deep dive, the VIN is WUA4BCFX4L7900884. Let us know what you find.

Valhalla has benefited from working directly with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) – the consulting arm of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® Team – in the key areas of dynamics, aerodynamics and materials
1079PS / 1100Nm PHEV powertrain combines bespoke 828PS flat plane crank 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with three E-motors delivering a further 251PS
Capable of an electronically limited maximum speed of 350km/h (217mph) and 0-100km/h (62mph) in 2.5 seconds
Deliveries to commence in H2 2025. Limited to 999 units
Friday 23 May 2025, Monaco, France: Aston Martin Valhalla made its global public dynamic debut ahead of the Monaco Formula One® Grand Prix weekend yesterday. Driven by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® team driver and two-time Formula One World Champion, Fernando Alonso, Valhalla took to the iconic Monaco street circuit ahead of F1® practice, having recently completed final validation testing both on road and on track.
Valhalla has already captured the world’s attention with its fusion of Formula 1® performance-driven technologies. Close collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) – the consulting arm of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® Team – on dynamics, aerodynamics and materials have brought an extra dimension to the design and development of Valhalla. Having only appeared in public on static display until now, this was the supercar’s first dynamic public performance, highlighting its cutting-edge hybrid powertrain, superior handling, and unparalleled driving dynamics – not to mention its scintillating design.
A monumental moment in Aston Martin’s rich 112-year history, Valhalla is seen taking to the infamous street circuit through Monte Carlo in a AMR25 race car inspired Podium Green with a Lime Green livery with the supercar’s principal development driver Fernando Alonso at the wheel, pushing the car to its limits around Casino Square and through the Tunnel.
Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® team driver, Fernando Alonso, said, “Having followed this project closely for the past 18 months and working alongside the development team, unveiling Valhalla’s dynamic capability to the world at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a fantastic moment for both myself and the brand. Taking Aston Martin’s unmatched luxury credentials and added cutting-edge F1® inspired technology and class-leading performance, I can confirm Valhalla is a true supercar both on road and on track. Outside of the outright power and dynamics, it delivers on all of the raw feelings and emotions you look for when behind the wheel of a car like Valhalla.”
Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin CEO said, “The extreme performance and unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals presented many new opportunities to both the engineering and design teams throughout its development. To witness the culmination of the tireless work from all teams involved, showcased on an iconic F1® circuit like Monaco and driven by an icon like Fernando is a significant moment in Aston Martin’s rich history of both road cars and racing.”
With a combination of 1079PS and 1100Nm via the hybrid powertrain, Valhalla is a car of many ‘firsts’: Aston Martin’s first series production mid-engined supercar, first plug-in hybrid and first production vehicle with dedicated EV range capability. The marque’s first model to use the bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 engine – the highest performing V8 engine ever fitted to an Aston Martin – and the first to use the marque’s all-new 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which incorporates an e-Motor and electronic rear differential (E-diff). It is also the first application of the all-new front axle twin motors, which facilitate torque vectoring and contribute to the all-wheel drive system.
Limited to 999 units, delivery of Aston Martin’s ultimate supercar, Valhalla, is set to commence in H2 2025.
Mercedes-Benz chose to celebrate with a major flex of their racing pedigree and the line to their road cars with three very special vehicles from their factory vintage collection. The road car, an über rare CLK GTR Coupé homologation road car joined a CLK GTR racecar and C 11 Group C prototype on the lawn next to Lake Como, having been set there by crane.

FuoriConcorso on 24 and 25 May 2025 at Villa del Grumello and Villa Sucota
Legendary Mercedes-Benz racing sports cars and a super sports car aloft high above the shores of Lake Como: Mercedes-Benz Classic was already causing a stir with this spectacular scene during preparations for FuoriConcorso 2025. The Mercedes-Benz C 11 Group C racing car from 1990, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR racing sports car from 1997 and the exclusive production version of the CLK GTR Coupé were placed in the gardens of Villa del Grumello using a mobile crane. On 24 and 25 May 2025, the Silver Arrows of the 1990s delighted the audience at the new and dynamic event. In addition, the programme included talks with an extremely high-calibre panel at Villa Sucota on 25 May 2025. Marcus Breitschwerdt, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Heritage GmbH, took part in the “Rally and F1” and “Italian Racing” discussion rounds.
Memories of two championship years
FuoriConcorso has been around since 2019 and is regarded as one of the most attractive events in the classics scene. The two racing sports cars presented by Mercedes-Benz Classic in the gardens of Villa del Grumello have a connection to Italy: the Mercedes-Benz C 11 celebrated its début in 1990 with a one-two victory in the 480-kilometre race in Monza (Jean-Louis Schlesser/Mauro Baldi ahead of Jochen Mass/Karl Wendlinger); the CLK GTR racing sports car took second place in the 1997 FIA GT race in Mugello (Alessandro Nannini/Marcel Tiemann). These Silver Arrows each won the title in the 1990 Group C season as well as the 1997 FIA GT Championship.
A small series of road-legal hypercars with 450 kW (612 hp) was derived from the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR racing sports car in 1998. Only 20 of these extremely rare CLK GTRs were built as coupés, and only five as roadsters. The coupé at FuoriConcorso comes from the Nationales Automuseum The Loh Collection.
When it comes to Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW has long been a major supporter. New concepts and a major presence are standard fare for the brand from Münich, so that they’d reveal a new model like the M2 CS perhaps is to be expected.
In due course then, the new M2 CS was unveiled on Friday evening as part of the concours that took place on lake Como from May 23-25. For this reason, we can share the photos, though the official communications of the car’s details won’t actually happen before tomorrow.
As you might expect then, we don’t have details on the car just yet. Even still, we figured those watching BMW and its illustrious M division would want to see them.
Events like Air|Water bring a wave of vibrant colors from the Porsche community. When it’s thoughtfully curated, it feels like being a kid in a candy store. @PTSRS and Air|Water teamed up to present “Colors of Air|Water,” and we spent hours capturing content for our site. The rain didn’t stop us. It added mood and contrast, bringing each color to life in both overcast light and the bright California sun.
We’re kicking things off with Maritime Blue, a color we’ve featured on the site before. In our Color Focus series, we took a closer look at its origins and where it stands today.
Here’s a quick recap: Maritime Blue (maritimblau, nonmetallic UNI, 5MB, Porsche) was either introduced or rose to prominence during the 964 era. According to Porsche Club’s Rennbow database, it was mainly available from 1991 to 1995, with a few exceptions, including a possible appearance in 1979 on the Carrera SC. Rennbow also notes it may have evolved from early Porsche Enamel Blue.
At its core, Maritime Blue is a near primary shade that echoes the early national racing colors of France, often called French Blue, made iconic in the prewar era by Bugatti.
We don’t have many details on this particular 964, but chances are you don’t need us to tell you just how rare this car really is. Built by Porsche Motorsport in 1993, the 964 RS 3.8 is one of just 55 units ever produced. Designed as a homologation special for the 964 RSR race car, it featured a widened Turbo body, a 3.8 liter air cooled flat six, and lightweight construction throughout. With most examples staying in Europe and many destined for the track, seeing one in Maritime Blue is an exceptionally rare occasion. Seeing one in the United States is even more rare.
Using the Bramo app, we get more insights on this 718 Spyder. The owner states, “Car was spec’d in collaboration with @PTSRS and our local dealership. The car originally resided in MA but has been enjoyed by myself and friends in CA for the last year and a half.” Pretty rad to spec it with PTSRS and bring it to an event organized by him.
Check out the video and gallery below for a walk around of both cars.
When it comes to Porsche 911-based remasters, Gunther Werks has built a solid reputation and a specific niche of the last-of-the-air-cooleds 993-generation. Over the years, Gunther Werks has expanded its formula to include more racing-focused cars and Speedsters, but its their core GW specification forms the core.
Getting to the core Gunther Werks formula, it’s hard to argue with the idea of doing a classic and understated silver. Gunther Werks calls this particular version Sterling Silver, and it works well. Stylistically, the understated hue allows all of their incredible detail work to do the talking. In a more literal sense, the audible talking comes from an optimized 4.0-liter normally-aspirated flat six developed by Rothsport Racing.
Find this and more on the Gunther Werks Facebook Page HERE.
We’re always down for the latest Singer commission around these parts, and the car you see here certainly qualifies. Built to the firm’s Classic Turbo specification, this Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer stylistically builds on the classic G-body 80s 911 yet takes it to a whole other level of cool.
The paint color, a light blue not altogether far from Gulf Blue, is known as Azzurro La Plata. It features ghosted stripes to add to the sporting appeal. Several photos of the car were posted to their Facebook Page.
Inside, the cockpit is primarily onyx leather with Alcantara and houndstooth fabric on select surfaces including lightweight, carbon fiber track seats. Light blue accents continue on the inside, including powder blue seatbelts, lower cabin surfaces and portions of the instrumentation.
In the rear, a harness bar and cross brace includes Singer badge in brass.
It being a Singer, the car is based on a 964 even though it stylistically now resembles a G-body much more closely. It’s powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged intercooled flat six.

The ongoing success of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is based upon an intimate understanding of the unique world in which its clients live, socialise and entertain. In this spirit, the marque delights in maintaining a gentle presence in the world’s luxury hotspots.
This week, Rolls-Royce Spectre is joining clients in celebrating the breathtaking floral art displayed in the streets and residence entryways in the heart of Chelsea, South-West London. In keeping with the flower-inspired theme and reflecting the brand’s enduring connection with nature, the Spectre is finished in Velvet Orchid – one of nature’s most captivating flowers, admired for its rich colour, velvety texture and luxurious appearance – and complemented by a delicate hand-painted Peony Pink Coachline.
Floral motifs have long inspired Rolls-Royce Bespoke commissions. Nature – and flowers in particular – provide a rich language of symbolism, sentiment and beauty. This Spectre follows some recent exceptional commissions inspired by the natural world, including the celebrated Phantom Cherry Blossom and Daisy Cullinan. These creations are not simply motor cars, but deeply personal artworks – each a reflection of the commissioning clients’ values, identity and lifestyle.
