    Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Aetna Blue Macan

    What: 2021 Porsche Macan
    Color: Paint to Sample Aetna Blue (aetnablau; non-metallic UNI; Y31; Porsche)
    VIN:  WP1AA2A57MLB14202
    Mileage: 13,093 miles
    Price: $47,250
    CarFax: Link
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Austin, TX
    Listing: Porsche Austin

    Fairly base spec, incredibly low miles, Paint to Sample color- this Macan is a bit of a head scratcher. While there is no denying Aetna Blue as a special color, the choices made (or not made) on this Tailored Driver have us wondering why not. Agate Grey partial leather is pretty middle of the road although it does work well here, and the standard 18″ rollers do little to help this Macan stand out from the crowd. Having covered just 13,000 miles in four years of service, there is certainly no shortage of potential here, though. Perhaps you can use depreciation to your advantage, because at $41,000, it sure leaves plenty of room in the budget to further Tailor this future daily driver.

    What: 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS

    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: 2019 Audi exclusive Aetna Blue S5 Sportback

    What: 2019 Audi S5 Sportback

    Why we love it:

    Believed to be identical to Porsche Aetna Blue that dates back to the 356 era, a quick Googling will show that Audi exclusive has built a small number of cars in this color over the last few years. The owner/seller of this car reports, in this case, it is 1 of 1 and thus apparently the only 2019 Audi S5 Sportback built to this color… at least in this year.

    This car has some miles on it, but appears to be a great spec and impeccably kept. This includes Sport Differential, black leather, professionally applied Adams Graphene Advanced Ceramic coating, PPF xple on headlights, Integrated Engineering air intake and stage 1 tune for engine and transmission, plus a set of summer wheels / tires (Audi RS 5 5-spoke design with Continental tires) and winter wheel package with 20-inch rotor style wheels on Pirelli Winter Sottozero tires… the latter likely the stock wheel given this appears to be a black optic S5.

    Given the car has mileage, it’s also nice to know that the car has had a recent Blackstone oil analysis, that front and rear brakes were replaced, spark plugs were replaced, water pump service was completed including belt tensioner and roller all at 70,000 miles. The 75,000 mile service was also completed including all fluids changed including the differential. The seller will even provide recent PPI and complete VCDS Scan to a serious buyer.
