  • Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Creme White 911 GT3 RS

    Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Creme White 911 GT3 RS

    Beige the world. There is an interesting theory that as the world’s economy goes up and down, consumers will change their color preference to either be more flashy (things are great!) or more subtle (things aren’t great!) when it comes to their new car. The post-COVID economy is proving complex as it is either great or awful depending on your perspective, and our color choices are reflective of that. Such is the case with this Tailored Driver.

    Finished in Creme White (cremeweiß, code: 51A) you’d be correct to categorize this 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (VIN: WP0AF2A91RS272490) as being on the more tame side of the spectrum, especially with so many others on the secondary market in much brighter, bolder colors. Chalk it up to one person’s understanding of the current economic climate, this 3RS could very easily be seen as the bearish RS.

    Moving past the Paint to Sample finish, this Tailored Driver is downright tame on the inside as well, with a mix of Black Leather upholstery and Race-Tex fabric covering nearly all surfaces. Of note, the CarFax does mention this car was an export from Canada, which may complicate things for a prospective buyer.

    Sadly though, this could also be categorized as the introvert’s RS based on mileage- just 447 since new. In other words, it’s not had its engine break-in procedure completed. Be the one to right this wrong, by calling Kearns Motor Car in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin and writing a $434,989 check.

  • Market Find: CXX Noto Green Extended Leather Porsche GT3 RS Weissach

    Market Find: CXX Noto Green Extended Leather Porsche GT3 RS Weissach

    While wild colors may be much more prevalent due to a comparatively low cost and bigger effect, this is the kind of Tailored Driver that really gets us excited. The exterior of this Porsche 911 GT3 RS with Weissach Package (VIN:  WP0AF2A95KS165691)? It’s non-metallic black, a $0 option. Nothing to see here, keep moving along. But it’s what is going on inside that is reason for fixation.

    There you’ll see $49,000 in CXX or Special Wishes tailoring, nearly every available surface covered in incredibly cool Noto Green leather. Currently on offer by Cabiglio Garage on Bring a Trailer showing just 2,500 miles, this GT3 RS carried an original MSRP of $301,760, representing what just may be the highest sticker’d (before Dealer markup) example sold stateside. While we’re speculating, we’ll also mention the reputation of the seller, known for marketing vehicles on behalf of Jerry Seinfeld, Spike Feresten Tom Hanks, and Paul Bettany. That fact, paired with the Santa Monica airport as image backdrop, means this may have been originally owned by a notable heavy-hitter in the LA car scene.

    If you’re interested, better get your finances in order fast. The auction for this Tailored Driver ends this afternoon, and could break the $450,000 mark. Get all the details for this Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach, here.

  • Market Find: Paint to Sample Smyrna Green Porsche GT3 RS

    Market Find: Paint to Sample Smyrna Green Porsche GT3 RS

    Originally available on the 356, Porsche’s Smyrna Green (smyrnagrün; non-metallic UNI; Z33; Porsche) is one of the more underutilized shades of Stuttgart’s rainbow. But for me, it represents somewhat of a generational conversation. Much like asking “what show is Uncle Jessie from?” to folks of differing ages will get an answer which varies between Full House and Dukes of Hazzard, you wouldn’t be shocked to hear Millennials and Gen X swear this is actually Evergreen from BMW’s M roadster and coupe.

    Whichever way you lean, this Porsche GT3 RS (VIN: WP0AF2A91RS272361) represents a display for forceful restraint. Beyond the obvious, you’ll find a long list of options including the Weissach Package, yellow deviated stitching throughout, numerous surfaces covered in Race-Tex, and the extended range fuel tank among others.

    Currently on offer at Merit Partners, this GT3 RS has covered just 92(!) miles since new, and pricing is available upon request. If you have the means, we highly recommend picking this Tailored Driver up.
