    Why we love it:

    While Gulf Blue seems to get a ton of play due to its deep roots in Porsche’s racing history, Paint to Sample Gulf Orange, shown here on a 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4, isn’t so common. On the surface, it makes sense- the subtlety of Gulf Blue is not found here. But is a GT variant Porsche about blending in? In the eyes of Tailored Driver, not for a moment. If you agree, you can acquire this Cayman GT4 for just under $100k.

  • 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

    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.

    Why we love it:

    We’re massive fans of the Cayman GT4 here at Tailored Driver, so when a Paint to Sample’d VIN enters our radar it’s impossible to not take notice. With this Market Find, we have the realization of a spec that’s been kicked around our internal group chat for quite some time- Paint to Sample Irish Green, 6 speed manual transmission, Yellow deviated stitching, belts and door pulls, and because we’re not as young as we once were, 18-way power seats. If we had to split hairs on this Tailored Driver, we’d ditch the wheels in favor of something from Augment Wheel Company or a similar OEM+ source and add a 917-style shift knob, but that’d be our only adjustment. For our sake, please go buy this before we do.

  • Market Find: 2016 Porsche Paint to Sample Birch Green Cayman GT4

    Why we love it:

    We’ve long been fans of the Cayman GT4, and equally fans of the more ‘acidic’ greens like Lotus’s Krypton Green which was one of the less common colors applied to their Exige and Elise models. We’re also suckers for detail and theme. Here, Paint to Sample Birch Green flows from the exterior to the cabin of this Cayman GT4, with Birch applied to the cloth door pulls, seat belts, and key fob. Rounding out what we feel to be a top tier GT4 spec are Bucket seats, extended leather dash (with Race Tex on the lower half), and steel brakes.
