What: 1978 Porsche 928 Color: Grand Prix White (grandprixweiß; non-metallic; 908 / P5 / L908 / 9A5; Porsche) VIN: 9288200259 Mileage: 34,998 miles Price: $20,000 at 1 Day 20 Hours Remaining CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Marietta, GA Listing:PCarMarket
While it’s not “refrigerator white”, Porsche Grand Prix white is still just white. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s hardly qualifies as “tailored”. A Paint to Sample oddball this car is not, however… look inside.
Okay, sure. So you’re familiar with Porsche’s discotastic hippie checkered flag mashup fabric pattern known as Pasha. It was a factory option, so here again… rare but worth featuring? If paired with green leatherette then we’d say yes.
Find another one. We dare you. Also, this car wins the late 1970s in our opinion. If you don’t agree. Fight us.
What: 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S Color: Porsche Paint to Sample Viola Metallic (violametallic; metallic Uni; L39G; Porsche) VIN: WP0AC2994VS375765 Mileage: 26,000 miles Price: Sealed Bid CarFax:Link Window Sticker: Link Location: Deerfield Beach, FL Link: RM Sotheby’s
As measured by its Viola Metallic paint, this Porsche 911 Turbo S delivered new to Brumos Porsche is one of just three U.S. market cars to get this color. Now pair it with its unique interior specification and it is believed to be one-of-one.
While the paint is self explanatory when viewing these incredible shots provided by RM Sotheby’s, the interior is worth lingering on for a bit more detail. Leather is special Rubicon Grey leather that, to our eye, looks quite lavender in these photos. Does that qualify this car as tone-on-tone purple-on-purple?
Even better, the interior doesn’t just stop at the unique hue of the leather. Porsche Exclusive extended leather abounds, including the heated and power-adjustable 993-era racing-style sport seats. Deviated stitching in Speed Yellow and Speed Yellow seat belts tie in the yellow of the brake calipers, not to mention pop as accents on a purple background given yellow and purple are color spectrum opposites.
Other interior equipment includes carbon fiber interior trim on the dashboard, door panels, door pulls, and Tequipment shift knob and emergency brake handle. Other equipment includes power sunroof, staggered light alloy wheels, Digital Sound Packag, embossed headrests and Litronic headlights.
What: 2010 Audi R8 V10 quattro Color: Cherry Black Pearl (kirscheschwarzeperleffekt; metallic UNI; Z9X; Audi) VIN: WUAANAFG0AN000815 Mileage: 32,689 miles Estimated: $88,950 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Auto Collection of Murfreesboro, Inc., Murfreesboro, TN Link: Auto Collection of Murfreesboro
Another Audi with tailoring inside and out is this Audi R8 V10. Its exterior color is a deep and very dark purple called Cherry Black Pearl. Inside, it’s got a primarily black interior with orange leather panels on the seats and orange contrast stitching throughout, with further extended leather on the dashboard.
Worth noting, we’re seeing a few aftermarket modifications on the car. It’s unclear whether the airbag would have also had orange stitching, but the airbag steering wheel is definitely rebuilt as Audi wouldn’t have made one in that contour nor partial carbon fiber.
Another modification we see are the orange brakes. They contrast the paint nicely enough, but it’s also a non-factory finish that wouldn’t have come from the factory. Other modifications we think we see are non-factory carbon fiber body accents like that rear lip decklid spoiler, the grille appears aftermarket, black badges predate black optics badging and the wheels may have been refinished in more of a titanium grey appearance.
Given the amount of modifications, buyers seeking factory specification will want to take a closer look at the car as they make their consideration.
What: 2017 Audi S7 Sportback Color: Audi Estoril Blue(estorilblaukristalleffekt; metallic UNI; LX5P; Audi) VIN: WAU2FBFC6HN050272 Mileage: 89,223 miles Price: $26,999 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Morrie’s Inver Grove Mazda, Inver Grove Heights, MN Link: Morrie’s Inver Grove Mazda
When it comes to Audi exclusive builds for the USA, cars with special exterior paint are most likely to be encountered. Special interiors are rare, and extravagantly custom interiors are even rarer. Take for example this Estoril Blue S7 Sportback, looking pretty normal on the outside. Open a door and climb inside though, and you’ll find a multi-tone interior likely very specifically made for the car’s original owner.
Technically on the build specification, we’re seeing Audi exclusive leather-covered seat trims (YRB), Controls in Audi exclusive leather (YZ2), Audi exclusive leather trim in Valcona leather (package 2).
In the photos, we leather in two shades of brown on the orange side of the brown spectrum. This includes rare places like the shifter and seat bases. There’s even a two-tone steering wheel including partial covering in tone of the brown colors. The distinctive wood trim with pin striping was a factory option in this C7-era S7, though looks even more exotic in this very distinctive interior specification.
By our measure, the look is polarizing. It’s not for everyone, but there’s no doubt it’s highly unique and likely one-of-one.
What: 1990 BMW M3 Johnny Cecotto Limited Edition Color: Macao Blue Metallic (macaoblau; metallic uni; 250; BMW) Chassis #: 06HRN5 | 1941915 Mileage: 71,804 km, 44,616 miles Price: €149,950 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: DTM Collectibles, Hilversum, Netherlands Auction Link:Link
Why We Love It:
The E30 generation M3 is already one of the most sought-after classic BMWs on the planet, now throw in one of the rare limited editions and that compounds the value to enthusiasts – particularly enthusiasts of the 80s “rad-era” variety. In this case, the E30 M3 in question is a 1990, one the Johnny Cecotto Limited Edition models, and one of just 50 to be sold to in Swiss specification.
For the uninitiated, Johnny Cecotto was a multi-talented professional driver of Italian and Venezuelan decent who won the motorcycle racing world championship at just 19 years old, and would later compete in F1 and the DTM where he raced for BMW in the E30 M3. Due to his success there and apparent participation int he development of the E30 M3 road car, BMW introduced this special edition as a tribute to him and unveiled it in 1989.
BMW M created a video featuring Johnny Cecotto talking about the car and his career with BMW. Watch it here.
The Johnny Cecotto Edition boasted several notable changes, including an upgraded 215 horsepower version of the BMW’s S14 2.3-liter engine, plus larger front splitter and revised rear wing that would later also be used by the M3 Sport Evolution. Thinner side and rear glass helped reduce weight, while components like valve covers and intake manifold were color-matched to the car and the centers of the car’s 16-inch BBS 2-piece wheels were painted black. Body colors available were limited to Misano Red, Nogaro Silver and Macao Blue like this car. A plaque showing his name could be found on the center console.
Over its production run, BMW built 5,000 E30 M3s, which qualify as a homologation special having been produced explicitly to meet production requirements in order to compete in the German DTM touring series. Over the course of production, 480 Johnny Cecotto Edition M3s were built, with another 25 similar cars built as tribute to fellow M3 DTM driver Roberto Ravaglia. Interestingly, it would be Ravaglia who netted BMW a championship in 1989, while Cecotto’s best BMW DTM season result was as runner-up in 1990 when this car was manufactured.
Back to this car, it is a great specification from the factory, with Macao Blue Metallic paint and grey interior including rare grey M Tech fabric seat centers, a design that was unique to the special edition M3s including the Cecotto and the Evolution. M Tech is more commonly found in black, with reproductions available in the market.
Making this car a little more unique is the fact that it was built to Swiss specification. Only 50 cars were imported into Switzerland, and this Macao Blue example was one of those cars. It was delivered first to a dentist in Zürich, who later sold it to the final previous owner more than 20 years ago. The paint is said to be original.
It’s hard to imagine building a brand new Porsche 911 GT 3 RS in Paint to Sample Mint Green (mintgrün; non-metallic UNI; 22R; Porsche) and yet all anyone wants to do is talk about the interior, but that’s exactly the case with this elfer going through pre-delivery at Porsche Colorado Springs and shared to Facebook HERE.
Imagine the task. You already know you’ve chosen one of the most iconic 964-era Carrera Cup colors, a color amongst an era that also established as greats the likes of Rubystar / Rubystone and Maritime Blue. Now, pick an interior to top that, and don’t do anything dumb like choosing a leather color that only has a shot of being cool in an ironic sense.
How do you do it? Well, if you’re this particular Porsche Colorado Springs Client, you lean into CXX special wishes and dig into unexpected classic tones and patterned fabric. Light grey leather is the name of the game here, over sport buckets with centers in Pepita houndstooth.
That’s unexpected, because Pepita tends to get paired with black, or maybe brown on rare occasions. Not only does it look amazing on light grey, it might serve to wear a bit better than had the whole seat been done in such a lightly toned hide.
Kudos to Porsche Colorado Springs for sharing this. And, kudos to the builder who created this specification. With so many Paint to Sample and Sonderwunsch GT3 RS examples out there, it’s getting harder and harder to wow those of us who feel sometimes like we’ve seen it all before. No question though, this car has done just that.
Singer Vehicle Design has teased its latest classic build with red and green theme just in time for the holidays. And while it’s probably safe to say there wasn’t an intentional yule season theme in the imagining of this commissioned 911, the specification still assures every day is a holiday when you have the keys to this car.
Here’s what we know about the specification. The exterior is Paint-to-Sample Plantain Green. Inside, Burgundy leather covers most surfaces, accented with woven leather seat centers that create a unique tartan pattern.
As is typical with most Singer Classic specification cars, this reimagined 964 features a 4.0-liter flat six, with power sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
Singer shared the car HERE on Facebook, and unfortunately embed protections are on so you’ll need to follow the link to find the post directly.
Munich/Miami Beach, FL – BMW and Kith are launching a new edition of their successful collaboration. The BMW XM* and its links to the legendary BMW M1 are the focus of the third collaboration between the premium car manufacturer and Ronnie Fieg’s world-renowned lifestyle brand, Kith. The high-performance plug-in hybrid will be available next year as the 2025 BMW XM by Kith, with exclusive exterior and interior designs.
The 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept offers a first look at the car, which will be manufactured as a one-of-one vehicle and presented at Art Basel Miami 2024, taking place from December 6-8 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, alongside another unique piece, Ronnie Fieg’s 1981 BMW M1 E26. A new Kith for BMW collection of apparel and lifestyle products will also be launched.
Following the edition vehicles designed by Ronnie Fieg based on the BMW M4 Competition Coupé* from 2020 and the BMW i4 M50 xDrive* from 2022, BMW and Kith are once again dedicating the latest chapter of their partnership to an exceptional BMW M automobile. The BMW XM, which is also the first original BMW M automobile since the BMW M1 produced from 1978 to 1981, features the newly developed M HYBRID drive system for the first time. The BMW XM features striking details inspired by the design of the legendary mid-engined sports car, such as the side accent strips, the two BMW emblems at the rear and the louvre structure of the rear lights.
2025 BMW XM by Kith: 47 units, historic colour, exclusive details. The 2025 BMW XM by Kith will be produced in a limited edition of 47 units, reflecting the number of years that have passed since the debut of the BMW M1. It will be delivered in the second half of 2025 to enthusiasts and collectors of particularly exclusive BMW M automobiles. The edition vehicles will be offered with BMW Individual Frozen Techno Violet metallic (frozentechnovioletmetallic; metallic matt; 299; BMW Individual) paint finish, which is also based on historical models. This paint finish, specially developed by Kith for the 2025 BMW XM by Kith, will only ever be used for this limited edition model and will never be used by BMW again, making this edition truly special. Alternatively, BMW Individual Frozen Black metallic (frozenblackmetallic; metallic matt; U91; BMW Individual) paint finish is also available for the 2025 BMW XM by Kith.
The paintwork and numerous special design features emphasise the particularly dynamic proportions of a modern Sports Activity Vehicle and the expressive lines that characterise the BMW XM. The 2025 BMW XM by Kith features black side window graphics and accent strips. The outline of the model inscriptions on the front, rear and side, as well as the outline of the Kith logo, combined with the characteristic M stripes on the rear of the edition vehicles, are finished in Techno Violet metallic. The 2025 BMW XM by Kith comes as standard with 23-inch M light-alloy wheels in star-spoke design with Jet Black finish.
In the interior, the modern sports car cockpit of the BMW XM by Kith is complemented by exclusive details in the striking aesthetics of the Kith label. The illuminated door sills feature the special “1/47” insignia, denoting how rare each car is. The velour floor mats and the control centre on the centre console all feature the Kith logo with the M stripes.
An illuminated version can also be seen under the headrests of the M multifunction driver and passenger seats. The seat surfaces in the BMW Individual Merino leather finish feature an embossed Kith monogram pattern, as does the armrest of the centre console. Another detail can be found in the control display of the edition vehicles. A special widget includes the official BMW XM by Kith vehicle name, the “1/47” insignia and the Kith logo with the M stripes.
The M Lounge in the rear of the 2025 BMW XM by Kith also creates a personal atmosphere in the vehicle. Embossed Kith monogram on the seat surfaces and two cushions with the label’s logo add to the personal touch. Together with the pre-set purple interior lighting, a special atmosphere is created that is appropriate for the edition vehicle.
A Kith duffle bag, designed and manufactured exclusively by Kith for the edition vehicles, is included as standard to stylishly accommodate the included charging cables.
The 2025 BMW XM by Kith will be launched on December 6th at 5 PM CET on http://www.bmw-m.com/XM-by-KITH. Interested customers can use this link to express their purchase intent.
World premiere in Miami Beach: The 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept. BMW and Kith will present a concept car, also designed by Ronnie Fieg. The exterior and interior of the 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept have been created by Fieg in collaboration with BMW to express both the distinctive character and exclusive sportiness of the high-performance model in a particularly intense way. Free from all the conventions of production car homologation, he designed a sophisticated lighting concept, in which the colour purple plays a central role, matching the BMW Individual Frozen Techno Violet metallic paint finish. The 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept’s side accent strips consist of black backlit strips, each of which contains 363 full-color LED units distributed along its entire length. When activated, these create a dynamically animated purple glow around the Kith lettering. The decor elements on the side panels also feature a backlit Kith logo.
LED units are also used in the headlights to create a purple colour scheme. The Kith logo can also be displayed on the glass covers of the main headlights using LED matrix displays for the low beam headlights. The 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept also features an M radiator grille Iconic Glow with purple contour lighting and a paint finish enriched with purple colour pigments for the 23-inch light-alloy wheels.
As a nod to its motorsport lineage, and to pay homage to the M1’s design, the 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept has been lowered by 30 millimetres at the front and 35 millimetres at the rear, while the track on both axles has been widened by 40 millimetres. This was accomplished thanks to the use of special springs and wheel spacers.
Inside the concept car, M Carbon bucket seats replace the M multifunction seats of the 2025 BMW XM by Kith. They also feature surfaces with embossed Kith monogram and illuminated Kith emblems combined with the M stripes in the area of the headrests.
What: 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition Turbo S Coupe Color: Paint to Sample Graphite Grey (graphitgrau; non-metallic UNI; C2C2; Porsche) VIN: WP0AD2A9XES169049 Mileage: 3,700 miles Price at Time of this Writing: Bid to $318,000 with Eight Days Left in Auction CarFax:Link Window Sticker: $240,150 Location: Santa Monica, CA Auction listing:Link
Why we love it: In 2014, Porsche celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the 911 with a special “50th Anniversary Edition” model that utilized the then-wider body of the 991. 1963 were built to this specification, most easily recognizable for their Fuchs style wheels, houndstooth seats, and only available in either darker Graphite Grey (graphitgrau; non-metallic UNI; C2C2; Porsche) or lighter Geyser Grey. And while all of those had the base 911 drivetrain, Porsche also specially built a Graphite Grey Turbo S 50th Anniversary Edition for none other than Jerry Seinfeld. That car is currently up for sale on Bring a Trailer.
In total, Seinfeld’s 911 50th Anniversary specification applied to this Turbo S added approximately $58,000 in options to the standard Turbo S. In addition to the aforementioned paint, this included things like Sport Plus front seats with houndstooth inserts, PDK gearbox, Sport Chrono Package, 20-inch Sport Classic alloy wheels, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCBs), an electronic limited-slip differential in the rear, LED headlights, ParkAsssist, Burmeister audio system, and automatic climate control.
Consistent with the 911 50th Anniversary Edition, it also got 50th Anniversary badging and clear taillights. Interestingly, the underside of the trunk is also signed by Tony Hatter, then Porsche Head of Design.
It is believed to be the only factory built 2014 911 50th Anniversary Turbo S. Combine that with the fame of the original owner of this single-owner 911 and you have a very special car for any serious Porsche collector.
Range Rover is debuting its newest and most highly crafted SV Bespoke vehicle at Design Miami. Range Rover SV Candeo, which means ‘to shine’ or ‘to glow’ in Latin, is a one‑of‑one vehicle inspired by the sunrises of the Miami coastline
Featuring hand‑finished, 18K solid gold Range Rover script badging, expertly 3D printed and crafted by British jewelers from fully recycled gold responsibly sourced from around the world
A unique, hand‑applied duo‑tone fade paint finish harmonizes beautifully, evoking the Miami coastal skyline; the first time such a paint finish has ever been executed on a Range Rover vehicle
Exquisite one‑of‑a‑kind embroidery design characterizes the theme of light; distinctive rear seat cushions alone feature 90,000 stitches each, alongside embroidered seat backs and, for the first time, an embroidered headlining
A year in the making, the Range Rover SV Candeo signals the future of SV Bespoke personalization for Range Rover’s most discerning clients seeking the ultimate luxurious finishes
The Range Rover SV Candeo is on display at Design Miami from December 3‑8, 2024
Drawing inspiration from the cool tones of Miami’s famed coastline, Range Rover has crafted a unique curation that expresses this natural beauty. The Range Rover SV Candeo, defined as ‘to shine’ in Latin, reflects the world‑famous oceanic vistas. Displayed during Design Miami, as part of Range Rover’s official partnership, it is presented in a space dedicated to the Range Rover’s guiding modernist design philosophy, with a cinematic backdrop storying Miami’s landscape and oceanic views.
The exterior features a duo‑tone paint finish – applied by hand to create a graceful ombre effect from a bespoke sky‑blue satin hood color fading into a lustrous pearl white along the upper portion of the distinctive Range Rover silhouette. This elegant color combination magically captures the subtle golden reflections shimmering on the clear blue waters of Miami. The exterior is finished with Forged 23‑inch Diamond Turned directional alloy wheels with matching pearl white inserts.
Complementing the exterior on the front and rear lies exquisitely‑crafted 18K solid gold Range Rover script badging – weighing in at over 900g; more gold than has ever been applied to a Range Rover before. The gold is recycled from 100% fully audited recycled sources, preserving natural resources. Each letter features an 18K yellow‑gold outer and white‑gold inner and is 3D printed for precision, hallmarked, then hand‑finished by a British Jeweler to ensure it lies perfectly flush – with a polished outer edge and a brushed face.
The interior of this unique and exclusive vehicle is the perfect combination of harmonious tones; a Liberty Blue Near‑Aniline and Perlino Semi‑Aniline leather finish capturing the essence of the transformation between dawn to noon. This theme is further brought to life with careful and considered embroidery across the cabin, as well as Natural Dark wood veneers and white ceramic finishes on the gear shifter and controls.
Luxurious left and right seat backs feature a radiating sunrise motif meticulously embroidered– viewed in all its glory from the front looking rearwards, where the rays seemingly stretch to each corner of the interior. For the first time, Range Rover SV Candeo features an embroidered headlining, finished in Perlino with nuances of gold in different lights, continuing the theme of sunrise. Cabin cushions feature a geometric sundial repeat pattern, with 90,000 stitches per cushion for a tactile, intriguing and precise finish that exemplifies workmanship beyond compare.
The rear cabin of the Range Rover SV Candeo offers unparalleled comfort for two rear‑seat passengers. SV Signature suite seats with Range Rover SV‑specific contours feature 24‑way adjustment with massage functionality, complete with a chiller compartment for drinks, while an elegant electrically deployable Club Table rises theatrically from the fixed full‑length center console on beautifully engineered supports to provide a convenient workspace when required.
Completing this unique creation is the Tailgate Event Suite – inspired by the calming glow of morning sunrises across the Miami coast – finished in Liberty Blue Near‑Analine leather with embroidered seat cushions featuring a unique radial sun design.
The SV Bespoke commissioning service is available on Range Rover SV and Autobiography cars. Clients are invited to begin their Bespoke journey via their preferred Range Rover retailer or by contacting bespoke@jaguarlandrover.com directly.
