    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. It’s clear to us that Racing Green is a hue with no edits required, and in this case transforming the stiff, no-nonsense weapon that is a GT4 RS into a weekend cruiser that may warrant brown leather driving gloves. Best described as incredibly tasteful, this Tailored Driver will continue to command the right kind of attention regardless of where colors trend in the future. Is that kind of staying power worth the $239,991 price of admission? We think it just may be.

  • Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Aetna Blue 718 Cayman GT4 RS

    Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Aetna Blue 718 Cayman GT4 RS

    What: 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS
    Color: Paint to Sample Aetna Blue (aetnablau; non-metallic UNI; Y31; Porsche)
    VIN: WP0AE2A82RK274761
    Mileage: 1,246 miles
    Price: $232,900
    CarFax: Link
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Porsche Danbury, CT
    Dealer listing: Link

    Why we love it:

    A true classic that made its debut on Porsche’s 356, Aetna Blue (or Etna Blue) is equal parts pastel and vibrant. Decidedly darker than Gulf Blue, Etna gives Tailors the opportunity to achieve a result that stands out in a tasteful way while still inspiring conversation. Per Rennbow, the color has seen a resurgence in popularity as of late and we can absolutely see why- the heritage color fits impeccably with color trends of the past few years. Of note, Aetna appears quite similar to Cavalry Blue, which Toyota used on their TRD PRO trim 4Runner back in 2018.

    Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Black Olive GT4 RS

    What: 2024 Porsche GT4 RS
    Color: Paint to Sample Black Olive (schwarzolive; non-metallic UNI; 2A7; Porsche)
    VIN: WP0AE2A80RK274760

    Why we love it:

    The myriad shades of Green seem to be in vogue, yet Porsche’s Paint to Sample Black Olive isn’t one we see often. Perhaps it’s the deeper, more subdued nature of Dark Olive which drives folks to order Nato Olive or Smyrna Green instead, but in our eyes- that’s their loss. This particular Tailored Driver is the right blend of exclusivity, must-have options, and if-you-know-you-know cred that clearly sets it apart in the age of lottery ticket Porsche allocation. Put simply, someone will be incredibly fortunate to put this GT4 RS in their driveway.

    Market Find: Paint to Sample Nato Olive Porsche GT4 RS Manthey Racing

    As with all Porsche models wearing the RS badge, the Porsche GT4 RS is no slouch in standard trim. And for those who like to tinker, it proves one hell of a starting point. Enter Manthey Racing, diverting some attention from running GT works competition for Porsche Motorsport, to offer their hyper-focused expertise via Porsche Techquipment for GT4 RS owners.

    This particular example (VIN: WP0AE2A85RK274334) is what we’d call peak spec- Paint to Sample Nato Olive paint, contrasting yellow seat belts, door pulls, and model script, wheels finished in gold, and the Weissach Package. To further sharpen the knife, Manthey contributes revised aero, bespoke coil over suspension, and stainless steel brake lines among numerous other touches.

    Currently on offer at the legendary Champion Porsche in Pompano Beach, Florida for an asking price of $304,900, this Paint to Sample Nato Olive Porsche GT4 RS Manthey Racing has covered just 82 miles since new, making us think it’s served as a promotional piece. We can only hope the next owner gets a bit more enjoyment out of their investment.
