What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Coppa Florio Blue (coppaflorioblau; non-metallic UNI; 360; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A92RS273308 Mileage: 22 miles Price Estimate: $568,950 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: See Gallery Location: Marshall Goldman, Beverly Hills, CA Listing:Link
Here’s a deep cut and tasteful spec 911 GT3 RS with plenty of Sonderwunsch touches and virtually no miles in case you wanted to skip the game of getting an allotment and waiting on your own build. If we were going to skip such a line and able to pay the premium, this car certainly qualifies as short list material.
Coppa Florio is also known as Polar Blue. Though close to Gulf Blue, it’s not the same thing. The hue is slightly different, but more importantly this color is exceedingly rare versus Gulf Blue that remains one of the most popular PTS blues because of its Gulf Racing heritage tie.
Coppa Florio was a 911/912 color from the late 1970s. The wheels of this Weissach Package build are color-matched in the same Coppa Florio hue. More uniquely, and incredibly well matched, the standard Weissach Package carbon has been tinted blue in most excellent effect – a line item that is highly uncommon and cost $28,140 alone. Add to that carbon ceramic brakes, LED Matrix headlights, Exclusive Design taillights, front axle lift, deviated stitching blue, additional leather Race-Tex… the list goes on and on.

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.
What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Guards Red (guardsrot; non-metallic UNI; 84A / 027 / G1 / 80K / M3A / L80K; Porsche) and White (weiss; non-metallic UNI; C9A; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A95RS272296 Mileage: undisclosed Value: Sealed Bid, Value in Excess of $500,00 US CarFax: N//A Location: Pickering, ON, Candada Auction listing:RM Sotheby’s
If you have an affinity for both factory one-of-one creations and Canada, you won’t want to miss this 2024 911 GT3 RS. Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show, this one-of-a-kind Sonderwunsch special was built by Porsche Canada to celebrate the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto (PECTO).
Obviously, an official Porsche importer wasn’t going to fall short on the details when it came to such a special build, and the so-called “PECTO GT3 RS” received options totaling $415,375 CAD. These included two-tone paint with special Guards Red and White Canada-themed livery, special red and black pepita fabric and countless other details like logos and even a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph.
The car is listed for sale directly from Porsche Cars Canada, with a percentage of the proceeds going to charity. In addition to the car and the aforementioned watch, the sale also includes a scale model of the car and a driving experience at Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Given the depth of details, we’re going to copy and paste the full description of the car here for the record, though if you’re interested in checking out more on the car and bidding on its sealed bid sale, click through the link above in order to do so.
Lot Description[source: RM Sotheby’s]
Designed specifically by Porsche Cars Canada alongside Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur department to announce the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, RM Sotheby’s, a company founded and headquartered in Canada, is proud to offer this sensational 911 GT3 RS on behalf of Porsche Cars Canada.
Built to announce the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto and unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, this car is a stunning showcase of the abilities of the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur “Sonderwunsch” (special wishes) program to design and create automobiles that are unique in every aspect.
Undeniably Canadian from every angle, the livery on the PECTO GT3 RS is a homage to the Canadian flag utilizing Porsche’s own shades of Guards Red and White and showcases fanatical attention to detail. The offset exterior color split is delineated by the location of the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker, with each side of the car boasting deviated accent colors from the main exterior color apparent on that respective side, including the GT3 RS side graphics, maple leaf painted on the roof, the outer lips of the black forged magnesium wheels, maple leaf painted on the centerlocks, Porsche script underneath the rear wing, and the PECTO logo on either side of the rear wing.
The theme carries through to the GT3 RS’ interior with Pepita inserts on the seat centers and door cards in deviating red and white, red and white contrast stitching on the doors, red and white pass-throughs on the carbon fiber bucket seats, PECTO logos on the headrests, alongside Guards Red seat belts and the chrono stopwatch dial and tachometer in white. Replacing the usual ‘GT3 RS’ script on the illuminated doorsills is an outline of the Toronto skyline, illuminated in red and white.
In addition to the car’s incredible color scheme, the PECTO GT3 RS remains exceptionally well-optioned including the Weissach package, 90-liter fuel tank, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with calipers in Gloss Black, front axle lift, preparation for Porsche dashcam, passenger footwell mounted fire extinguisher, LED-Matrix Design headlights in black, Exclusive Design taillights, Bose Surround Sound system, automatic dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor, pedals and footrest in aluminum, and traffic sign recognition.
Since the car’s unveiling at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, the PECTO GT3 RS has traveled around Canada to a handful of different Porsche Centres and has now returned to the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, where it will be on display until the conclusion of the auction. In addition to the car itself, the winning bidder will receive a scale model of the car, a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph, as well as a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Finally, Porsche Cars Canada has elected that any amount over the PECTO GT3 RS’ reserve price will be donated to Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium), a charity that has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families since 1983. Through in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, the organization creates opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, they empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Visit www.campfirecircle.org for more information.
Some six decades since the official importation of the first 356 to Canada in 1961, the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto showcases the continuing strength of the Canadian market for Porsche, all while offering Canadian customers an exciting new way to interact with the brand. The PECTO GT3 RS is the embodiment of that Canadian passion for Porsche and a brilliant showcase of the abilities of the Sonderwunsch program, making for a truly Canadian GT3 RS unlike any other.
What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Paint to Sample Ipanema Blue Metallic (ipanemablaumetallic; metallic UNI; 3S2 / F2; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A97RS272672 Mileage: 896 miles Bid at Time of Writing: $362,000 CarFax: Link Window Sticker: See Gallery Location: Phoenix, AZ Listing: Bring a Trailer
A very rare color according to Porsche Club of America’s Rennbow color wiki, Ipanema Blue Metallic was offered in 2011, making it 997 era. Today, it’s also Paint to Sample on this very sharp-looking and barely driven 2024 992 GT3 RS.
Initially created as a Paint to Sample Plus color in 2017 and added to the standard Paint to Sample palate in 2023, Alex Grey has quite the story behind it. Tracing it’s roots back to 1962 when Dutch Police needed a faster horse to ensure safety on roads that at the time were without speed limits, the Rijkspolitie turned it’s attention to Porsche and their 356. This created a partnership that resulted in a fleet of 507 Porsches in total until the Dutch opted for something more ordinary and cancelled the program in 1996. As they are want to do, Porsche celebrated the partnership with a special edition in 2017, contracting Studio Piet Boon to do-develop a color and livery for the car. Alex Grey as shown here was the result, which oddly enough is in no way representative of the aforementioned Rijkspolitie liveried cars. But what it is, is a very deep, incredibly vibrant Grey- much more vibrant than Audi’s Nardo, and much more distinct than Fashion Grey or even Grey Black.
Porsche Centre North Toronto made waves this week when they shard photos of a recent 911 S/T arrival in their showroom. Specced by Marty @OneMan1138, this S/T is laden with Sonderwunsch special wishes touches in a way that’s highly attention-grabbing and likely also polarizing.
The basic specs provided by Porsche Centre North Toronto are these. The car includes 44 bespoke options, including most obviously the color scheme in Ultra Violet, Ruby Star Classic and Racing Yellow. As you can see from inside shots, the interior follows along on the colors and the theme.
First up, Porsche Ultra Violet (ultraviolett; non-metallic UNI; M4A / G7; Porsche) is a 911 GT3 RS color from the 991 era. Ruby Star Classic a.k.a. Rubystone Red (sternrubin; non-metallic UNI; 82N; Porsche) is effectively a hot pink that was a 964-era Carrera Cup color that has remained a cult classic since its inception. The two together are an interesting pair in their own right, though throw in Racing Yellow (renngelb; non-metallic UNI; 1S1 / P3; Porsche) and the net effect goes so much further.
The car, known as “ONEMAN”, isn’t for sale. We’re classifying it in our Market Find – Acquired Taste section in addition to color check because it is such an opinion-generating build. Congratulations to Marty on the new S/T. We hope it’s everything you expected, and it is truly unforgettable.
What: 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Color: Paint to Sample Irish Green (irischgrün; non-metallic UNI; L60E; Porsche) VIN: WP0AC2A92NS271142 Mileage: 1,383 Price: Contact Dealer CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Costa Mesa, CA Listing:European Collectibles
The iconic Porsche color of Irish Green looks the business on a 60s/70s F-body 911, and really everything else in between. Such is the reason that Irish Green is a regular hit on the Paint to Sample color palette for an in-the-know buyer looking to spec their car in Porsche heritage.
What’s the origin of Irish Green at Porsche? It first appeared in 1964 on the Porsche 356C models, and would quickly become Ferry Porsche’s favorite Green… which is saying something because Ferry Porsche loved greens in general.
In the case of this GT3 Touring, the Irish Green paint is paired with a subdued black leather interior that really harks the era from which Irish Green emerged.
Not exactly one that rolls off the tongue, but as Juliet once told Romeo- what’s in a name? In this case, measuring a generous 24 characters spread over 7 syllables, quite a lot actually. Fish Silvergrey Metallic was added to Porsche’s Paint to Sample program in 2023, and meshes the aforementioned silvergrey with a tasteful hint of green. Nearly chromaflair-lite in execution and cost, Fish Silvergrey Metallic as seen here is quietly making a serious case for itself in the world of Tailored Driver.
What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Porsche Paint to Sample Albert Blue (albertblau; 325 / 1818 / 387; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A99RS272818 Mileage: 1,420 Miles Price: $441,888 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: San Luis Obispo, CA Listing:Porsche San Luis Obispo
Paint to Sample Albert Blue is an interesting color choice for a 911 GT3 RS – a color from Porsche’s rich heritage that’s somewhat subdued for such an in-your-face car as a GT3 RS. Pair it with red graphics though (not to mention carbon fiber laden Weissach Package) and the overall look becomes decidedly more bold.
One hard-to-miss element of this build is the matching blue and red tartan fabric on the seats. We’ve not seen this pattern before offered by Porsche, and the listing makes no mention of Sonderwunsch touches, fabric, tartan or plaid. That said, there are plenty of companies out there specializing in making replacement seat centers for Porsche’s carbon buckets where their modularity in construction allow for additional special touches that can take on a factory installed appearance. This may be that – handsome, but perhaps not factory and something you may want to verify if that is important to you.
What: 2024 Porsche 911 S/T Color: Shade Green Metallic (shadegreen; metallic-UNI; M6F; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A97RS273031 Mileage: 66 Miles Price: $621,445 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Langley, BC Listing:Porsche Centre Langley
We haven’t had a Porsche 911 S/T on the site yet. The reason why is simple. Getting an allotment was nigh impossible unless you were a Porsche highly regular, and even those were leased to all American buyers for a year assuring they wouldn’t end up in flip mode. The same was the case for Canada, or so we thought.
Other than the one sold recently in a charity auction benefitting Los Angeles fire victims we haven’t seen these on the open market just yet. However, this Shade Green Metallic example for sale in British Columbia appears to be available and we found it on the Dupont Registry. Has it been a year since these things started being delivered?
Shade Green Metallic is a 911 color. Yet can be ordered on a standard run-of-the-mill 911, though a quick check of the 911 S/T configurator in the U.S. shows no Shade Green availability. Paint to Sample isn’t mentioned in the ad, so perhaps it was available though Canada’s own configurator tool for the S/T isn’t active at this time.
Regardless, Shade Green is paired here with Classic Cognac / Black leather seat that’s part of the Heritage Interior Design package. It’s also got the Heritage Design Package 60 Years 911, including Chrono Package, Front Axle Lift System, Ambient Lighting Plus, Porsche ParkAssist Rear, Bose Surround Sound System, Traffic Sign Recognition and LED-Matrix Design Headlights in Black with PDLS+ and much more, this 911 S/T ensures exceptional driving comfort and precision.
