A very interesting car at a very iconic dealership, this Paint to Sample Dolphin Grey Porsche 911 Sport Classic at Isringhausen was originally ordered as part of the White Collection. It was later sold by RM Sotheby’s during Monterey Car Week in 2024.
Number 923 of 1,250 992-generation Sport Classics built, the car features no less than $152, 785 in Sonderwunsch tailoring alone. Some of that most excellent spec includes Heritage Design interior with Extended Sanguine Red Leather, color-matched Dolphin Grey liberally applied to the wheels and other exterior components, and of course a manual transmission.

Say you don’t want to play the game – buy the watches, the sacrificial Taycan or wrestle for a PTS allotment that’ll take for what feels like forever. If that describes you, then finding a tasteful specification existing car to sink your teeth into is the best possible solution. That in mind, may we present this paint-to-sample Fjord Green 911 GT3 Touring with manual transmission and an interior of Exclusive Manufaktur leather in light grey.
Beyond that, there’s a healthy selection of options. Carbon ceramic brakes? Check. LED-Matrix headlights? Check. Sport Chrono? Obviously. The list goes on, and if that sounds like something for you then we’d suggest heading over to BaT to take a closer look. At this time of writing, the car has four days left for bidding.
Shade Green Metallic is a standard color for Porsche 911 S/T, though we’d argue that even the most basic paint on such a highly exclusive car shouldn’t disqualify our posting it on here.
Interestingly, Porsche forced a one-year lease on the 911 S/T that effectively discouraged flip resales… at least for a year.
Has it been a year already since these cars came out? Time flies. Whatever the case, you can now pick one up in one of our favorite modern standard Porsche colors. Check it out via the link.
Porsche and the heritage Italian brand Ferragamo are known for timeless design, authentic craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising quality. The two companies have joined forces to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Porsche Italia.
Porsche Italia is launching two special-edition models created in collaboration with Ferragamo, which are based on the 911 Carrera 4 GTS and Taycan 4S. In the style of the fashion brand, the experts at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur have elaborately refined both the exterior and the interior of the two iconic sports cars. A standout highlight is Blusogno – a special colour inspired by a Ferragamo collection. This shade also features in the interior, and, in combination with the blue Paldao wood décor, conveys a subtle elegance. The special-edition models are available in limited numbers exclusively for the Italian market.
Ferregamo and Porsche are inspired by the same vision
Both pioneers made their dreams come true, laying the foundation for a success story that continues to this day. Salvatore Ferragamo became famous in Hollywood by custom-making shoes for movie stars. In 1927, the ‘shoemaker of dreams’, as he was known, returned to his homeland and settled near Florence. And in 1948, Ferry Porsche realised his dream of building a sports car with the 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster. This model marked the beginning of a strong brand with products that are still highly sought after today.
“Our dream was to create something truly unique that embodies the spirit that has guided us for the past 40 years: Porsche style combined with Italian culture and aesthetics. That’s why we chose Ferragamo as a partner for this project – a brand with which we share values such as excellence of craftsmanship, timeless elegance and a tireless attention to detail,” says Pietro Innocenti, CEO of Porsche Italia. “The collaboration with Ferragamo and the team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur in Zuffenhausen has enabled us to implement this vision in a way that is both authentic and forward-looking. These values will continue to inspire and guide us in the future.”
“When Porsche asked Ferragamo to contribute to this anniversary, the main idea was to change as little as possible and focus on refined details. Because Porsche is already perfect,” says Leonardo Ferragamo, Chairman of Salvatore Ferragamo. “The aim of this collaboration was to create an authentic and meaningful synergy between two iconic brands that both share the same values: design, excellence, craftsmanship and the courage to innovate. We wanted to tell an emotive story rooted in the idea of dreaming. My father Salvatore was known as ‘the shoemaker of dreams’, while Porsche continues to be driven by dreams.”
The collaboration: a close exchange between the two brands
“Both Porsche and Ferragamo are characterised by a signature design that is of timeless elegance. We have taken this minimalist, purist approach to the extreme with the ’40 Anni Porsche Italia’ models,” says Grant Larson, Director Special Projects Design at Porsche. “Salvatore Ferragamo experimented a lot with unusual natural materials,” the designer continues. “This encouraged us to take unusual paths in the interior and to dye the Paldao wood blue – a novelty for us at Porsche that emphasises the understated character of these limited-edition models.”
Both design teams were in close contact with each other during the project. The Ferragamo team travelled to Zuffenhausen, and the Porsche and Porsche Italia team were guests in Florence. The perfect Blusogno shade was developed using leather and fabric samples from Ferragamo’s iconic shoulder bag and signature fashion pieces.
The exterior: Blusogno paintwork with white fine lines
Through its Paint to Sample Plus programme, Porsche offers customers the opportunity to create completely individual colours for their cars. Blusogno was developed as a special colour exclusively for this special edition. Thin, precise lines – known as fine lines – add an accent that conveys elegance and dynamism. These white fine lines, inspired by Ferragamo design elements, are mounted on the front lid and rear spoiler and elegantly follow the flow of air over and around the car.
Both B-pillars bear a commemorative plaque with a prominent ‘40’, the years 1985 and 2025 and the words ‘Porsche’ and ‘Italia’ – in tribute to Porsche Italia’s 40th anniversary. All these elements are raised slightly so that they can be felt across the surface.
The wheels have been painted in Blusogno and finished with white, hand-painted pinstripes. The wheel hub cover also bears the exclusive blue colour, which forms a striking contrast to the red Porsche crest. At the rear, the model lettering is painted by hand in white and outlined in Blusogno, which gives the overall design an almost noble, harmonious touch.
The interior: Blusogno leather with blue Paldao wood trim
Blusogno also features heavily inside the car. Leather and yarn were developed and produced especially for the project in this special colour. The front and rear seats, the GT sports steering wheel and details on the centre console are upholstered in Blusogno leather. Modern Pebble Grey piping on the seats and the corresponding 12 o’clock marking on the GT sports steering wheel pick up on the bright accents of the exterior. The car’s document folder and key pouch are also made of Blusogno leather. In the 911, the gear lever is covered with Blusogno leather on the sides. Red trim strips on the storage compartments and in the trunk provide a contrast.
The dashboard and centre console of the 911 as well as the door mirrors of the Taycan are finished with Paldao wood in the exclusive Blusogno colour too. The large wooden surfaces in the door panels are divided by colour: the upper part in blue, the lower part in elegant black. In the 911, an aluminium inlay with a ‘40 Anni Porsche Italia’ logo further enhances the dashboard on the passenger side. In the Taycan, this logo is affixed to a special plaque in the centre console. A white illuminated Ferragamo logo is integrated into the door sill guards, which are made of black brushed aluminium.
The SportChrono clock at the top of the dashboard has a bespoke dial that plays with the colours of the Italian Tricolour in a subtly elegant way: the rings are green, white and red, and the second hand is red.
The sides of the vehicle key are painted in Blusogno. The edition also includes a custom-made indoor ca cover in the same colour with white piping, a coloured Porsche crest on the front, and white Ferragamo lettering on the sides.

Spoiler alert: this car is a respray. It was originally Grand Prix White over tan, meaning both the interior and exterior have experienced a color change. That said, it appears that no expense was likely spared in making it happen, while whomever did the work appears to have faithfully recreated the Porsche without taking liberties so as to make it look as if it could have been a period Paint to Sample. That’s both pretty cool and pretty rare.
We also like that it’s tone on tone. After having spent some years street parked in Manhattan, this car went in for a color change where the owner wanted the “creamiest” 964 ever. The color is period correct Apricot Beige, offered on the Porsche 928 and 911 from 1989-1990. And since beige wasn’t exactly in fashion in that period, the install rate was practically nonexistent. For the owner then, that made it near perfect for his needs – OEM, obscure and period correct.
While they were at it, they also redid the interior in a tone-on-tone match, replacing the factory tan leather with a lighter creamy beige leather. Some Alcantara was also used, which isn’t exactly period correct on a Porsche 964 but you’d likely need to be a super nerd to know that.
At $150K, this car is more expensive than the equivalent 1991 911 Carrera 2, though probably not far off from what a rare and well kept equivalent in paint to sample finish and Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur special interior. If these colors work for you or you’re seeking a 964-era 911 that’s super unique and that you won’t have to feel guilty logging miles driving then it’s probably worth the investment.
It was just last month that Singer pulled the wraps off of its latest Carrera specification, a stunning tribute to the G-body era of the 80s. Now, they’re sharing one of the first builds to this spec. We’re here for it, and we think you will be too.
The car you see here is finished in a military-looking green known as Sempreverde, Italian for “evergreen”. The exact source of the color wasn’t shared, but it’s a handsome darker green that plays to its namesake.
This Carrera also features the unique high performance auxiliary driving lights that pop out of the boot lid much like the headlights on a 928. It’s also got a speed activated rear spoiler, typical of a the 964-based Singers not fitted with whale tails of some sort.
The interior is flat white, featuring carbon fiber seats and raised gear shifter for the ultimate in cool.
Power comes from a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat six. It’s been restored and developed by Singer with engineering work from Cosworth. It features four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, water-cooled cylinder heads, air-cooled cylinders and an electrically powered fan.

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.

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.

Okay, it’s a build. However, it’s a build done in an exceedingly factory-like appearance. This car began life as a 911T, though as it sits it’s a lot more widebody RSR style. And whereas modern cars painted Gulf Blue throw a nod at the rich tradition of Gulf Racing liveries on old Porsches, an old racing Porsche in Gulf Blue is a whole other level of tribute.
The car is up for auction on Bring a Trailer, listed for sale by our friends over at Ryan Friedman Motorcars. Check it out, including the Bring a Trailer link for much, much further details on the build.

The Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer you see here was completed just a few months ago in January 2025 and is virtually new. Built to Singer’s Classic Study formula, the “Black Watch Commission” was built to harken classic Porsches, something you can especially see in the decision to go with tartan seats versus the typical Singer Classic treatment of woven leather.
Other spec includes titanium exhaust, Öhlins suspension, carbon fiber roof, carbon ceramic roof and more. The car is built to UK specification, but with left-hand drive. The Porsche Oak Green Metallic paint pairs well with satin nickel finished Fuchs style wheels.
Since the car is so freshly completed (and apparently never delivered), the new owner will benefit from the typical 12-month warranty Singer offers.
